To make training for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome mandatory for physiotherapists

To make training for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome mandatory for physiotherapists — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

In the UK, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is not covered in training for physiotherapists, yet waiting lists are long. I want to make training mandatory for universities so physiotherapists can understand the condition and be better equipped to treat it. Further training could be made available too.

Additional details

I want training specific to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome to appear on the syllabus for universities. It can provide basic information for treatment. Then further areas of study can be made available for current physiotherapists or those wanting to learn more.
