WCPT News

Purpose

WCPT News provides news and information from member organisations, regions and subgroups; plus reports on WCPT initiatives, and executive committee and general meeting decisions, as well as opinion articles on international issues relevant to the profession.

WCPT News depends on contributions from our member organisations, regions, subgroups and other organisations associated with WCPT. Please send your reports, articles and photographs to our editor at news@wcpt.org

Circulation

WCPT News is published every three months, and sent to our member organisations, regions and subgroups by email. Individual physical therapists can also sign up to receive WCPT News by registering with this website.

Technical Information

Why is the email template quite narrow?

People use lots of different email programs to access their mail, and have their screens set at different resolutions. This means we can't always guarantee how the WCPT News email will appear on someone's screen. The best practice guidelines to make emails readable for the maximum number of recipients is to limit their width to 600 pixels. Anything wider than this will be difficult to read for a significant number of recipients. This means people with high resolution screens will have some wasted space, but we'd rather that than some members struggle to read WCPT News.

Why can't I see any pictures in the email?

Many email programs, particularly web-based ones like Hotmail, block images in emails unless you tell them to do otherwise. There should be a link at the top of the email window that lets you "always display images from this sender" or a similar message.

Why doesn't the email look the same as the online version?

Each email program displays emails differently. Some comply to web standards and make a good job of reproducing graphical emails. Others, notably Microsoft Outlook 2007, are poor at displaying messages. We've tried to make the email template work for as many readers as we can. For those of you who find the email has been mangled by your mail software, follow the link in the Information section at the bottom of the email to the online version which should be much more presentable.
