WCPT E-Update - April 2015

April 2015

From the President and Secretary General WCPT Congress 2017: call for members of the ISC FREE course on rehabilitation of people with lower limb amputations New WCPT network Call for full disclosure of trial results International Osteoporosis Foundation Educata: free lymphedema article IFOMPT Conference Global campaign: Inclusion saves lives

From the President and Secretary General

As you read this, we will be completing the WCPT General Meeting in Singapore, and turning our thoughts to the opening ceremony of the WCPT Congress 2015, which begins on Friday.   There will be approximately 3,500 people there – and our registration statistics indicate that for around two thirds of them this will be their first WCPT Congress. It's great news that so many new people are discovering the congress, and have the opportunity to profit from its learning and networking opportunities. The profession can only benefit.   For those who can't attend, there are still ways to share in the unique opportunities congress offers over the next few days. You can look at the programme (www.wcpt.org/congress/programme), follow our rolling news updates from congress (www.wcpt.org/congress/articles), follow what's going on Twitter through the #WCPT2015 hashtag and then – when the congress is over – access the dozens of presentations via our website.   Whether you're in Singapore or not, we strongly believe that a WCPT Congress has something to offer everyone.   Kind regards Marilyn Moffat and Brenda J Myers If you would like to use all or part of this e-letter for your own newsletters/websites then please feel free. We need your assistance to reach the profession around the world, so please send this e-update to your members.

Call for full disclosure of trial results

The World Health Organization has issued a public statement calling for the disclosure of results from clinical trials, whatever the result. The move aims to ensure that decisions related to the safety and efficacy of vaccines, drugs and medical devices for use by populations are supported by the best available evidence. The WHO statement falls into line with the objectives of the All Trials campaign for research transparency, which WCPT signed up to in 2013: www.alltrials.net/. www.freeimages.com / michaelaw" title="Image courtesy of www.freeimages.com / michaelaw" width="250" height="176" class="mailer"/>

From the President and Secretary General Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) Report: Ending childhood obesity UN disability newsletter Regulation conference 2016 MedBridge World Health Day

From the President and Secretary General

We are looking forward to presenting the WCPT Awards on 30th April during the gala dinner being held at the time of the WCPT General Meeting in Singapore. The awards, including the Mildred Elson Award launched in 1987, recognise outstanding contributions to physical therapy on an international level.   As the world gets smaller, international recognition is increasingly important for those professionals who extend their influence beyond national boundaries to further their profession and promote global health. These are special people.   There's a lot of commitment in our profession. Many physical therapists give up their time – and sometimes much more - to contribute to the work of the profession at national, regional and international levels. They undertake projects, organise events, and sit on committees among other things. We'll be seeing it too in the approximately 250 volunteers who will guide and help delegates during the WCPT Congress 2015, after the General Meeting.    During our time in Singapore, we'll have plenty of opportunity to relish everything that is good in our profession.   Kind regards Marilyn Moffat and Brenda J Myers If you would like to use all or part of this e-letter for your own newsletters/websites then please feel free. We need your assistance to reach the profession around the world, so please send this e-update to your members.

In addition, the two pager "NCDs: A Priority for Sustainable Human Development" can also be downloaded.
