Physiotherapists can reinforce the Health Team of the World Youth Day 2023 (WYD23), whose mission is to provide neighbourhood health care to all registered pilgrims, volunteers and participants in the various events, in conjunction with SNS entities (Primary Health Care, INEM and Hospitals).
International guidelines for best practice in health point to the importance of integrating physiotherapists in the reinforcement of professional teams responding to disasters and/or humanitarian crises and large-scale events. The Order of Physiotherapists therefore considers that the contribution of physiotherapists as health volunteers at WYD23, will be essential for the affirmation of the physiotherapist in this ecosystem, and therefore calls for their registration.
In order to ensure that the cost of registration as a health volunteer at WYD23 does not constitute a barrier to the participation of physiotherapists, and given the importance attributed to it, the Order of Physiotherapists is available to share the minimum registration package.
We therefore inform you that the physiotherapists full members of the Order, can register as volunteers until the next 30 Junethrough the WYD organisation's own form23.
If you wish to share the registration fee, you should not pay the reference issued after completing the form. The reference for payment should be sent to the Order of Physiotherapists, to the following email address rh@ordemdosfisioterapeutas.pt, with the subject "JMJ23", indicating full name and professional card number.
