Draft strategic plan

23. A global community of physical therapists, where everyone feels connected and
engaged, and is free to contribute to WCPT and draw on its benefits. The
profession is strong and respected, well educated, up to date, constantly renewing
itself and supporting its member organisations and their members, who number
over a million.
Outcome 1: A global community of physical
therapists, where everyone feels connected

24. A physical therapy community that commands respect, is constantly in demand
and is automatically consulted by global organisations who act on WCPT’s advice
and therefore bring about changes in global health policy and practice, which
delivers more equitable care/service.
Outcome 2: A community that has global influence and
brings about changes to health policy and practice

25. A global community of trusted and valued professionals, which promotes the
unique and expanding role/value of physical therapy across the life span, so that
populations are more active, and is part of a popular movement for health.
Physical therapy is seen as making a vital and integral contribution, and is
automatically included in all health/movement settings.
Outcome 3: A global community that promotes the
unique role/value of physical therapy

26. An internationally acclaimed knowledge sharing organisation that creates,
collects, curates, disseminates knowledge, and adds value to it, so that health
policy and practice are supported by best available evidence and thinking.
Outcome 4: An organisation that shares knowledge

27. WCPT is an exemplar organisation: Flexible, outward looking, egalitarian,
creative, communicative, professional. It is financially sustainable and well
governed, so that all members, staff and other stakeholders feel included,
respected, welcomed and valued.
Outcome 5: An organisation that is fit for purpose

28. Balance of the plan
Do we have the balance right between:
• member services
• advocacy
• engagement?
91% 9%YES NO

29. Your participation
How likely is your organisation to contribute to the
work streams described under each outcome
through active participation by volunteers and/or
staff?

30. Next steps
• Costing of the activities within the strategic plan
• Development of the business plan
• Funding: membership subscriptions not the only
source, to also investigate other sources of
income, for example grant funding USAID.
