Conference and Presentation (C&P) Award

What is the Conference and Presentation Award?

The Conference and Presentation Award provides funding for chartered, associate and student members normally residing in the UK, and is divided in to two categories:

Members wishing to contribute to one of the following:

• A national physiotherapy-specific/relevant conference, including CSP Annual Conference
• A physiotherapy or interdisciplinary international conference in the UK
• A national conference or meeting relevant to, but outside of, the domain of physiotherapy
• An overseas physiotherapy-specific/relevant or interdisciplinary international conference/meeting, including World Physiotherapy Congress.

Members who are up to Band 5 physiotherapists wishing to attend for the first time, and not present at, one of the following:

• A national physiotherapy-specific/relevant conference, including CSP Annual Conference
• A physiotherapy international conference in the UK
• An overseas physiotherapy-specific/relevant conference.

The maximum amount awarded for a successful application in either category will be £2,500.

If you are applying retrospectively, applications for funding should be made within 12 months of the last date of the conference.
