🇿🇦 World Physiotherapy Congress Cape Town 2024 – Guest Speaker Highlight

Unveiling the Hidden Wounds: Forensic Audits in Physiotherapy

At the World Physiotherapy Congress 2024 in Cape Town, Lesley Meyer was invited as a guest speaker to present her groundbreaking research, “Physiotherapists’ Experiences of Forensic Audits by Medical Schemes in South Africa.” Her talk drew attention to the deep emotional and professional trauma suffered by physiotherapists subjected to opaque, unjust audit processes.

During the session, several physiotherapists in the audience became visibly emotional, some for the first time hearing their pain and shame validated in a public space. This moment was a catalyst for solidarity and healing.

🌍 Lesley continues to advocate for transparency, justice, and mental health support for healthcare providers caught in unfair systems.
