2020 has been an exciting year for the PRF.  This year’s activities were designed to ensure that the PRF continued to build the evidence base and value of the profession, through both strategy and researchers led activities.  

Six early career researchers were supported through Seeding Grants and funding was provided to conduct targeted research into the effectiveness of telehealth during COVID-19.  The interim results were used to secure continued funding for telehealth.  

The PROMs data pilot project was launched to test the feasibility of collecting aggregate de-identified data from patients for the purpose of research and advocacy.  

We partnered with the Insurance Commission of WA to leverage our resources and increase the PRF’s profile.  

We have made research accessible and relevant through our research translation activities such as the ‘Talking Physio’ Podcasts, infographics, blogs and animations.  

Thanks to the support of all members, the PRF was able to achieve so much in 2020! We have highlighted the main achievements in the end of year wrap-up video below and the infographic above.

Without your donations, initiatives such as these would not be possible. We are honoured to be your PRF in 2020 and beyond!
