Educational collaboration with Ukraine during conflict

In Ukraine, the physiotherapy profession is young and treatment is often not evidence-based, large numbers of injured people require rehabilitation, and training programmes are interrupted by the realities of studying during war. The School of Allied Health Professions and Nursing provided assistance to Sumy State University (SSU) by supporting an academic visit by the lead of the physiotherapy and sports medicine department. Sharing best practice enabled change in educational process, the re-commencement of research that had ceased, and proved valuable for staff and students from both institutions. Ongoing collaboration strengthens cultural understanding, academic quality, and institutional reputation, whilst enabling personal and professional development.
