NEW STANDARDS OF PHYSIOTHERAPY PRACTICE PACK Improving standards of patient care and reducing variations in practice are key concerns for the physiotherapy profession. The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy has developed new standards of physiotherapy to provide a benchmark of best practice in physiotherapy. A new pack is available containing core standards and service standards which also contain audit tools. The standards; * make an important contribution to the excellence and consistency sought by government through clinical governance * reflect all areas of practice - settings and specialities * set national standards against which to compare practice * provide audit tools to measure conformance to the standards Available from; Professional Affairs Department, The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, 14 Bedford Row, London, WC1R 4ED Tel 020 7306 6633 by sending a cheque for thirty pounds payable to the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
