About us

The Aims of the Society

The Society promotes research in physiotherapy, so that a firm scientific knowledge base is developed, from which more effective physiotherapy practice may be delivered and patient services enhanced. We encourage high quality research relevant to physiotherapy practice and education and help foster critical awareness throughout the profession.

The Society aims to disseminate the results of research both within the profession and beyond.

Our Annual Conference

Our Annual Spring conference is the main vehicle through which we promote and support research activity.   See the separate page for more details.

The PRS Committee

The Physiotherapy Research Society is organised by a small committee - usually 8 people strong and made up of anyone with an interest in physiotherapy research - see below for the names and contact details of the current committee.  Our work is guided by a Constitution - see the link below.

You do not have to be a physiotherapist to join the committee, which is currently made up of people who work within physiotherapy teaching and within research posts. People from any background would be welcomed - clinical, research or teaching. One of our main aims to to support and encourage novice researchers - so the committee are a mix of both very experienced and relatively new researchers. As long as you are interested, you'll be very welcome.
