Designing a pre-registration integrated Doctorate in Physiotherapy programme to address future workforce capacity

Research output: Contribution to journalMeeting abstractpeer-review

Abstract

As physiotherapy practice has evolved, so too has the demand for strong evidence on which to base the profession. Barriers to embedding research in practice include: organisational culture; lack of time; and difficulty in evaluating and interpreting published research (Grimmer-Somers et al, 2007; Scurlock-Evans et al, 2014). Traditional Physiotherapy pre-registration programmes at undergraduate and Masters levels have developed to address the challenges faced in establishing a professional evidence base; however, confidence in applying research skills in practice is often still insufficient.
