Tonight I attended the online launch of the World Health Organization's Rehabilitation Competency Framework (RCF). I was honoured to be one of the 80 people on the Delphi panel supporting its development. Prof Pam Enderby (IALP President) was on the Technical Working Group. It was great to read in Mills, Cieza et al. (2020) about the input from speech pathologists into this important document.
Two articles have been written describing its development
