Introduction

The need for physical rehabilitation services is an urgent and growing global issue. 2.41 billion individuals worldwide live with conditions that would benefit from rehabilitation services, with approximately 1 in 3 individuals requiring rehabilitation services throughout the course of their illness or injury. The proportion of the worldwide population aged over 60 years will double in the next 30 years and injuries for people of all ages are becoming more frequent. There are also approximately 150 million children and adolescents who experience disabilities. These changing health and demographic trends are contributing to rapid global increases in the numbers of people experiencing a decline in functioning, resulting in enormous unmet rehabilitation needs. Rehabilitation is a critical health strategy to optimise everyday functioning and ensure the highest possible standard of health and well-being. The role of the health and social care professional is key in the rehabilitation process and this series of courses provides a comprehensive perspective of rehabilitation and the competencies necessary to deliver quality care across the lifespan.

This was a great programme. The completion of the assignment at the end was a great way to consolidate our knowledge, and share it in a creative way! It would be fun to take another Physiopedia program/course.
