About the specialty group
The IPT-HOPE specialty group vision is to advance physiotherapy management and prevention of hematologic and immune system disorders, oncologic, and hospice and palliative related functional impairments throughout the world and across cultural groups.
The group provides individuals from member organisations with opportunities to advance evidence-based physiotherapy management in these areas through educational opportunities, networking, research dissemination and collaboration, and clinical practice information sharing and skill development.
The goals of IPT-HOPE are to:
- provide peer support through networking opportunities for its members (List serves, websites, online meetings, and education and research sessions.)
- provide continuing professional development opportunities
- establish mechanisms for promoting evidence to enhance practice
- enhance the international awareness of the benefits of physiotherapy management for individuals with oncologic, palliative care, or hematologic and immune system disorders
Get involved
IPT-HOPE is very interested in collaborating and networking with physiotherapy leaders in oncology, palliative care, and hematologic and immune system disorders from many countries so we may continue and move forward the care of our patients.
