"There are few research studies on violence specifically related to physiotherapists, either in Portugal or abroad. But that doesn't mean that this isn't an area of concern for the Order, because the nature of the physiotherapist intervention model and the contexts in which they work expose professionals, and also students, to clear and frequent risk situations. "
Watch the participation of the President of the Order of Physiotherapists, António Lopes, in the public presentation of the Action Plan for the Prevention of Violence in the Health Sector (PAPVSS), promoted by the Directorate-General for Health.
