Calling all Physiotherapists
Online Training Workshop to support Firefighter return to work coming soon!
​
The Fit For Operational Duty Screening tool is now recognised as national guidance by the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) for all UK Fire & Rescue Services to adopt.

We have developed a training workshop which will provide physiotherapists with an in depth understanding of the theory and practice of managing and delivering an effective rehabilitation programme to support firefighters in their recovery and increase the safety of firefighters on their return to operational duties.
