Dear members of ICCrPT

World Physiotherapy has a strong working arrangement with WHO where they help to source experts required for

WHO projects as required. In this context ICCrPT had been asked to distribute this email (see below and attached) to our ICCrPT member organisations. As the key contact for the cardiorespiratory subdivision of your professional body please could you disseminate this directly to your membership.

For your information Peter is a British physiotherapist who works for the World Health Organisation as part of the Rehabilitation Programme/Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) Initiative A key part of Pete’s role is to ensure that rehabilitation professionals – such as physiotherapists – are included as part of the first response teams that are deployed in response to humanitarian crises.

Many thanks

Brenda O’Neill

President, International Confederation of Cardiorespiratroy Physical Therapy
