We are the CSP

Last year, the CSP carried out a piece of research which found that the majority of members were unaware of all the member benefits on offer to them. We’re launching the new We are the CSP campaign to raise awareness of the range of tools, resources and services available to you. Take a look at some of these lesser known benefits and how they can support you throughout your career.

Advice services & representation

If you’re facing difficulties at work, we can support you. Your CSP steward or safety rep can offer employment advice and representation, with legal support also available through the CSP.  

Our Professional Advice team is on hand to support you too, with clinical or professional guidance around physiotherapy practice.

I have benefited from professional advice at the right time for the right situation.

Advocating/campaigning on behalf of members 

We campaign on vital issues that affect you, including pay, staffing and working conditions. Through promoting the value of physiotherapy with government, employers and other stakeholders, we can influence decision makers to protect and improve patient care.

CSP learning hub

Enhance your knowledge with the Learning Hub – a virtual learning environment designed to support your career development. Work at your own pace and access learning activities including interactive courses, modules and eBites. 

ePortfolio

Use the ePortfolio to track your physiotherapy journey online and showcase your work, reflections, and achievements. Manage your personal portfolio with ease and maintain a record of your CPD and professional growth.

The ePortfolio has been useful for building my profile, ready for when I graduate and start applying for jobs.
