Physiotalk, the website and blog which facilitates discussion on physical therapy practice and ideas, will be holding a "tweet chat" to mark World Physical Therapy Day on Monday 7th September at 8pm BST.

The discussion will take place via Twitter. It will explore this year's "Fulfilling potential" message and what it means as a healthcare professional, patient, carer, parent and/or family member.  To join the chat follow @physiotalk and the hashtag #worldptday. Find out more about the topics to be covered at bit.ly/1VdxxlY.

Last year's World PT Day tweet chat was fast and furious with 1,311,277 impressions, 780 tweets and 111 participants.
