Chartered Physiotherapists working with Older People

Dear Delegates,

Thank you so much for showing interest in our 2020 study days. As you will understand, we have had to make the decision to cancel these in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and to ensure we adhere to government advice.

We are looking at ways to deliver the training, later on in the year, either through new study day dates, or via virtual media. We will keep you informed as soon as we have managed to rearrange the sessions, especially as currently the situation is still changing daily.

Your regional representatives will arrange reimbursement of any course fees already paid in due course. Please be patient as they are being impacted both professionally and personally by this situation as well.

Many thanks for your understanding.
