Resilience in Physiotherapy during COVID-19: From ICU to long- COVID

COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact in our lives since its outbreak in March 2020. The efforts by the international scientific community, including physiotherapists, has truly reflected the resilience of this community following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, many citizens are suffering from COVID and post-COVID conditions and their needs must be met. Two years on, on the occasion of Global Public Health Week, the Europe Region World Physiotherapy would like to present an overview via a webinar that will provide an insight to participants on the role of physiotherapists throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. A special focus will be provided on the resilience of physiotherapists and their patients mostly in moments of global pandemic crisis. At the end of this session, participants will understand the role of physiotherapists on COVID-19 pandemic -from ICU to long-COVID stages- with special focus on the resilient measures that were adopted, both by physiotherapists and the patients, and the influence of this pandemic on mental health. Participants will learn further on physiotherapy care for persons infected with COVID-19. Throughout this webinar, which will be 1.5 hours long, speakers will present an overview on physiotherapy guidelines for COVID-19 acute care and post-acute, recovery, rehabilitation and long COVID-19 stages. This will be followed by a panel discussion on Physiotherapy at Post-Acute, Recovery, Rehabilitation and Long COVID-19 stages whereby speakers on the panels will be represented by professional and patients/clients. A moderator will facilitate this session and a 10 minute question time for participants will conclude the webinar.
