Dear Members,

The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy’s Charitable Trust, which funded physiotherapy research projects has recently closed. The CSP is taking this opportunity to explore the strengthening of research as one of our pillars of practice and developing the profession’s research capacity.

The CSP have commissioned insight research from Oxford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the Universities of Hertfordshire and Oxford. The aim being to listen to members and develop recommendations to support physiotherapy researchers, funding and evidence-based practice.

This project will map out the current and future research needs across the CSP membership, consider potential funding pathways and models, and ultimately develop recommendations to guide the CSP in supporting physiotherapy research and researchers.

Members are encouraged to join the upcoming webinars:
