Policy statement: Standards of physiotherapist practice

World Physiotherapy recognises the diverse social, political, and economic environments in which physiotherapy is practised worldwide.

World Physiotherapy recognises the importance of developing and documenting agreed professional standards for the practice of physiotherapy. These standards will ensure that physiotherapists are competent and safe to practise within a given context and facilitate the developments of the global physiotherapyworkforce. Harmonisation of standards across the profession may also facilitate mobility.

To support implementation, you can access World Physiotherapy  guideline on standards for physiotherapy practice.
