We must counter hatred and radicalisation. The rise of extremist hate around the world drives violence and terrorism.

A shared vision for physiotherapy education.

• Building digital confidence for connected care
• Renewed focus on movement and exercise
• Developing skills across the four pillars of practice
• Recognising apprenticeship pathways
• Embedding sustainability for people and the planet

Sundeep Watkins, CSP Education Adviser and project lead, shares how the framework will shape the next generation of physiotherapists.
