Identity of the Order: reasons for choosing it

Logo Ordem dos Fisioterapeutas

The Installation Committee of the Order of Physiotherapists organised a competition to develop its personal identity. Several proposals were submitted, and the installation commission decided on the one that presented the most guarantees of fulfilling the objective of a professional identity.

The choice of a sober but up-to-date brand that could convey and identify the organisation's work in any context was a priority. Knowing that digital environments will be favoured in the Order's contact with its members and partners, we sought an identity adapted to this reality and easily applicable to any communication platform.

The identity is based on rounded shapes, favouring the colour blue, which is already part of physiotherapists' references. The choice of blue is due to the fact that it is the representative colour of the profession, but also the colour of sympathy, harmony and fidelity. The rounded shapes convey movement and dynamism, values that we consider essential in Physiotherapy and in the Order of Physiotherapists.

Memorandum of understanding with the Portuguese Association of Physiotherapists

Memorando Apfisio

The memorandum of understanding between the Portuguese Association of Physiotherapists (APFisio) and the installation committee of the Order of Physiotherapists (OF) represents the excellent institutional relationship between the two organisations, whose common goal is the development of physiotherapy and physiotherapists in Portugal.

Following a meeting between the two organisations last March, the following points of agreement were reached between the two institutions:

1. To develop institutional cooperation efforts at national and international level with a view to defending the best interests of Portuguese physiotherapists;

2. To establish the progressive and necessary conditions so that, as soon as possible, the OF will have a seat, by affiliation, in World Physiotherapy, thus ceasing APFisio's participation in that body;

3. APFisio authorises the OF to use published APFisio and World Physiotherapy documents translated and adapted by it, which may be published by the OF;

4. The OF's installation committee undertakes to define the relationship model with APFisio's interest groups, until the formal creation of the OF's Colleges of Speciality;

5. APFisio's board of directors recognises the OF as the natural "heir" to its historic role.
