Information for parents and Carers

For parents and carers: APCP has produced a number of information leaflets on a range of conditions and topics commonly referred to children's physiotherapists for advice and support. The leaflets have been written by qualified paediatric physiotherapists after an initial review of literature and where there is a lack of evidence, a consensus of expert opinion is agreed, correct at time of publication.

For health professionals: These leaflets are freely available and intended for distribution to parents and carers. APCP is therefore happy for any physiotherapist or other healthcare professional / healthcare organisation to download and print these leaflets for distribution in clinical practice. APCP also allows uploading of these leaflets to other website servers to facilitate distribution to families.

If you do not wish to print these yourself or would like a more professional finish, we have used a couple of online printers previously. You can try Doxzoo or Doxdirect but there are many online printers who will perform this task.
