The President of the Order of Physiotherapists, António Lopes, and the President of the Order of Pharmacists, Helder Mota Filipe, met on 14 July. The Secretary General of the Order of Pharmacists, Jorge Batista, also attended the meeting.
The purpose of the meeting was to shake hands and continue the collaboration already established between the two Orders, underlining the desire to continue co-operating between the two institutions.
The Order of Physiotherapists emphasised its particular interest in learning more about the system for accrediting continuous professional development activities in force at the Order of Pharmacists, and a more specific working meeting on this system was planned. Other topics of interest include analysing the experience of the Order of Pharmacists as the competent authority for professional recognition and the work carried out at European level.
At this meeting between the two Presidents, other current issues relating to the framework of professional organisations were also analysed.
