Educational Resources (developed through Digi4MSK):
- Digi4MSK is an European Erasmus+ Alliance for Innovation project that addresses a well-documented challenge in health professions education: the slow integration of current evidence on musculoskeletal pain into teaching and clinical training.
- The project brings together universities, healthcare institutions, patient organisations, and digital experts, and has produced materials specifically designed to support both educators and learners.
- Two resources are available for use in educational settings:
- Online Course for Healthcare Professionals and Students - A structured course running monthly from April to September 2026, grounded in a biopsychosocial framework. It covers self-management, patient communication, behaviour change, and red flag identification, with videos, clinical examples, and downloadable materials well suited to blended learning contexts.
- Book of Good Practices - 26 clinical vignettes with accompanying guidance on health literacy and person-centred communication, designed to bridge research evidence and clinical training.
- Both are free of charge and available in English, Spanish, Danish, German, and Italian, making them suitable for use across European institutions and interprofessional programmes.
- Full access at digi4msk.eu
Società Italiana di Fisioterapia (SIF)
The partnership agreement between the ENPHE and the Italian Association of Physiotherapy (SIF) establishes a collaborative framework for the development of the Education subsection within the Archives of Physiotherapy journal. This collaboration enhances the integration of physiotherapy education and research, ensuring high-quality contributions and fostering academic exchange. By managing content and gathering reviewers, ENPHE plays a key role in supporting educational publications and advancing knowledge in the field. This partnership ultimately benefits both organizations and their members, strengthening the link between physiotherapy education, research, and practice in Europe.
