Outcome Measures: International tool to measure patient satisfaction
The World Confederation for Physical Therapy (WCPT) works to improve global health by encouraging high standards of physical therapy research, education and practice; supporting communication and exchange of information among its regions and member organisations; and collaborating with national and international organisations...
Following a motion adopted at the WCPT General Meeting in 1995, WCPT designated 8th September as International Physical Therapy Day. WCPT was founded on this day in 1951. International Physical Therapy day marks the unity and solidarity of the physical therapy community from 101 countries around the world. To date, activities & materials to celebrate the day have been left to Member Organisations so that they can be developed to reflect key national priorities & messages.
In 2006 we began to profile the International Physical Therapy Day activities of our Member Organisations on the website at www.wcpt.org/about/internationalptday/index.php. We would like to add to this page and encourage you to provide us with brief details of any activities you’ve undertaken. Please send the details to

In preparation for International Physical Therapy Day 2008, we hope to develop resources which Member Organisations and others might find helpful in planning activities. You can assist by telling us what kind of material you would find useful and sending copies of resources you have developed and are prepared to share with other Member Organisations.
