🤝🌍 Ko sem odhajal iz Prištine, nisem domov odnesel samo sprejetih dokumentov, razprav in sklepov. Domov odnašam nekaj veliko pomembnejšega-občutek, da fizioterapija v Evropi ostaja skupnost.
Kot predsednik Združenja fizioterapevtov Slovenije sem iz srca hvaležen, da sem lahko sodeloval na Generalni skupščini Evropske regije fizioterapevtov Europe Region of the World Physiotherapy- ERWP ter skupaj s kolegi iz vse Evrope soustvarjal razprave o prihodnosti našega poklica, kakovosti izobraževanja, raziskovanja, profesionalnega razvoja in varnosti pacientov. 🇪🇺📚
Posebej ponosen sem na delo Education & Research Working Group-WG, katere del sem imel čast biti. Skupaj smo pripravljali pomembne dokumente, ki so bili sprejeti na Generalni skupščini-dokumente, ki ne govorijo le o izobraževanju, raziskovanju in digitalizaciji, ampak o prihodnosti naše profesije. 📖🔬💻
Za vsakim dokumentom so ljudje. Ure dela. Različni pogledi. Iskanje skupnega jezika. In predvsem skupna želja: da fizioterapija ostane stroka, ki temelji na znanju, dokazih, etiki in človečnosti.
Iskrena hvala vsem članom WG-za strokovnost, odprtost, prijateljstvo in skupno pot. Posebna hvaležnost gre tudi naši dragi Lyubomiri, katere prisotnost in predanost ostajata del zgodbe te skupine. 🤍
Hvala kolegom iz držav članic ERWP za vse iskrene in konstruktivne pogovore. Prav v teh trenutkih človek začuti, da kljub različnim sistemom, jezikom in državam delimo isto odgovornost-razvoj fizioterapije in dobrobit pacientov. 🤝💙
Iskrena hvala Sidyju Ousmaneju Dieyeju, CEO World Physiotherapy, prof. dr. Michelu Landryju, predsedniku World Physiotherapy, Esther Mary D’Arcy, vodji ERWP za njeno dolgoletno predanost Evropski regiji ter novoizvoljenemu vodji ERWP Tim Nemeth in izvršilnemu odboru ERWP za njihovo vizijo in voditeljstvo. 🌍✨
Velika zahvala tudi sekretariatu ERWP- Aitorju, Miguelu in Emiliji-za vse tisto delo, ki pogosto ostane nevidno, a brez njega takšna skupnost ne bi mogla delovati. 🙏
In posebna zahvala našim gostiteljem-doc. dr. Feim Gashi, Visar Bllaca, Krenare Dreshaj- Ukelli ter Kosovski zbornici fizioterapevtov-za izjemno gostoljubje, toplino in srčnost. 🇽🇰🤝
Kot predsednik ZFS sem po teh dneh še bolj prepričan: prihodnosti fizioterapije ne bomo gradili vsak zase. Gradili jo bomo skupaj. Z dialogom. Z znanjem. S sodelovanjem. In predvsem- kot ena evropska fizioterapevtska družina. 💙🌱
# # 🇬🇧 ENGLISH VERSION
🤝🌍 I am returning from Priština not only with adopted documents, discussions, and decisions. I am returning with something even more valuable-the feeling that physiotherapy in Europe remains a true community.
As President of the Slovenian Physiotherapy Association (ZFS), I am deeply grateful to have participated in the General Meeting of the Europe Region of World Physiotherapy-ERWP and to have worked together with colleagues from across Europe on the future of our profession, education, research, professional development, and patient safety. 🇪🇺📚
I am particularly proud of the work of the Education & Research Working Group-WG, where I had the privilege to serve as co-lead. Together, we contributed to important documents adopted at the General Meeting- documents that speak not only about education, research, and innovation, but about the future of our profession itself. 📖🔬💻
Behind every document stand people. Hours of discussions. Different perspectives. The search for common ground. And above all, a shared commitment: to keep physiotherapy rooted in knowledge, evidence, ethics, and humanity.
My heartfelt thanks to all ERWG members for their professionalism, openness, friendship, and shared journey. A special thought also goes to our dear Lyubomira, whose dedication and legacy remain part of this group. 🤍
My sincere gratitude also goes to colleagues from member organisations across Europe for the many meaningful and constructive conversations. In these moments, one truly feels that despite different countries, systems, and languages, we share the same responsibility-advancing physiotherapy and improving patients’ lives. 🤝💙
Warm thanks to Sidy Ousmane Dieye, CEO of World Physiotherapy, Prof. Dr. Michel Landry, President of World Physiotherapy, ex- chair of the ERWP Esther Mary D’Arcy for her long-standing dedication to the Europe Region, and newly elected Chair Tim Nemeth together with the ERWP Executive Board for their leadership and vision. 🌍✨
Special thanks also to the ERWP Secretariat- Aitor, Miguel and Emilia-whose often unseen work keeps this community moving forward. 🙏
And finally, sincere appreciation to our hosts- Asst. Prof. Dr. Feim Gashi, Visar Bllaca, Krenare Dreshaj- Ukellu and all team members-the Kosovo Chamber of Physiotherapists-for their warmth, hospitality, and outstanding organisation. 🇽🇰🤝
After these days, I return even more convinced: the future of physiotherapy will not be built individually. It will be built together- through dialogue, knowledge, collaboration, and as one European physiotherapy family. 💙🌱
