Database of experts

Donating and receiving expertise

WCPT has created a new system for putting together people and organisations that need expert help with physical therapists who are experts in their field. Its database of experts is a list of people who are prepared to volunteer their services to help develop the profession internationally. WCPT can match requests for support – whether it be in education, practice or research - with the best person to help. The service is provided on an entirely voluntary basis, but individuals and institutions benefit from knowing that they are contributing to the development of the profession and care of people internationally, and are likely to achieve a greater profile in the international arena of physical therapy. WCPT’s role is to facilitate people getting together and otherwise takes no part in the collaboration. This section of the website provides further information to both those who want to find expert advice, and those physical therapists who are prepared to donate time and expertise.
