#LCPForum
Long COVID Physio hosted the first Long COVID Physio International Forum in partnership with Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions and FisioCamera, sponsored by Kaiser Permanente, Realize Canada, Visible, and Temerty Faculty of Medicine University of Toronto . The two day online forum brought lived experience to Long COVID, disability and rehabilitation.
The Long COVID Physio International Forum is suitable for any audience, including health and social care professionals, people living with or affected by Long COVID or other conditions, academics, service providers, policymakers, students of allied health and rehabilitation professions, and people wanting to learn more.
English was the spoken language of the Long COVID Physio International Forum. Zoom was used for all sessions. Closed Captioning (CC) or live transcription was used throughout the forum, with captions available in 11 other languages. Sessions were live streamed and recorded for on demand viewing.
