#Volunteering - truly a gift that keeps on giving. My education sessions on healthy #aging #chronic pain and #fall prevention are benefiting not only my local community but those far away. Imagine if more physios were encouraged to do the same! @apaphysio @Volunteers_NSW @salvos

#NVW24 Important paper for organisations to understand the motivators, facilitators, barriers and benefits of health professionals’ #volunteering @apaphysio @Volunteers_NSW @VolunteeringAus

[Institute for Musculoskeletal Health @msk_health]

Ima also led a scoping review of health professionals’ involvement in volunteering their professional skills.

Health professionals reported multifaceted benefits, but also a number of barriers to #volunteering.

Thankful for the opportunity to participate in this project as #physio #volunteer . It’s a great way to connect with #community promote #PhysicalActivity and enjoy health benefits of volunteering. #NVM2024 @msk_health @apaphysio @Volunteers_NSW

[Ima Strkljevic @ImaStrk]

@AnneTiedemann1 @CathieSherr @msk_health Thank you 🙏

[Ima Strkljevic @ImaStrk]

Our scoping review of health professionals’ #volunteering has been published- there is a need for greater allied health involvement & participation in health promotion rather than primary care.
