Extension of the Installing Committee's mandate

by
Prorrogação do mandato da comissão instaladora

The process of setting up the Order of Physiotherapists consists of several highly complex phases. The epidemiological situation in Portugal caused by the SARS -CoV -2 virus and the COVID -19 disease, as well as the time needed to create the material conditions for the effective installation and all the processes that make it up, have caused additional difficulties for the normal development of the installation process.

To this end, since the conditions for the registration of Physiotherapists and the election of the first Governing Bodies of the Order of Physiotherapists have not yet been met, the Deputy Secretary of State for Health, António Lacerda Sales, extended the mandate of the Installation Commission on 9 April 2021, published in Order no. 3657/2021.

The extension of the mandate takes effect on 11 December 2020, until the Order of Physiotherapists is effectively established, and the date for the elections to the Governing Bodies has also been set.

Vaccination plan - COVID 19

by
Covid 19 Plano de Vacinação

Since the start of the vaccination campaign, the Installation Commission of the Order of Physiotherapists (CI-OF) has been raising awareness of the right of physiotherapists to be vaccinated in the first phase of the vaccination plan, as health professionals who are at high risk of contracting the disease and spreading it, regardless of the context/sector in which they work. 

CI-OF has called on physiotherapists to register on the official platform and has called on the heads of establishments to promote, directly and/or indirectly, registration in the respective vaccination programme. However, we know that it has taken a long time for physiotherapists who work in private practice to be vaccinated. 

In this regard, the Installing Committee of the Order of Physiotherapists, without prejudice to the fact that it does not yet hold the collection of Physiotherapists working in Portugal, given that it still belongs to the ACSS, has asked the Task-Force for its best offices so that the vaccination plan for all Physiotherapists can be implemented in the first vaccination phase.

Finally, CI OF has shown its willingness to be a facilitator in the whole vaccination process for Portuguese physiotherapists, but has not yet been contacted for this purpose.
