  • Advocacy at OPA’s Summer Hospital Advisory Committee

July 16, 2025

OPA’s four clinical advisory committees meet quarterly, and in their recent June meetings, engaged in thoughtful and informative discussions around several advocacy items.

The Hospital Advisory Committee met on June 17, 2025 and focused its advocacy discussions on addressing:

  • critical recruitment and retention challenges for physiotherapists and PTAs in hospitals
  • emphasizing the need for formal strategies, mentorship programs, and equitable incentives comparable to other health professions.
  • The committee also discussed the impact of the proposed removal of provisional practice on hospital hiring and highlighted rising patient acuity as a pressing issue requiring improved staffing models and coordinated discharge planning.
