• Existing Physitrack licence holders can add Physicourses for £5 per user per month. The bundle suits individual occupational therapists, NHS departments, private clinics, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation services.

Occupational therapy CPD with Physicourses

Physicourses combines occupational therapy CPD content with Physitrack’s home exercise programme tools. UK occupational therapists can build their CPD portfolio and use the same subscription to prescribe programmes through PhysiApp and review patient adherence. The UK bundle includes CPD and HEP access but not remote therapeutic monitoring.

The Physicourses library contains more than 2,500 hours of learning across 400-plus courses. Content serves several rehabilitation disciplines, including occupational therapy and physiotherapy, which can help clinicians learn about topics that cross professional boundaries. Content partners include Gray Institute and Summit Professional Education.

The main advantage is the link between learning and delivery: clinicians can study independently, then use Physitrack’s clinical tools to apply relevant learning in day-to-day patient care. This makes the bundle most relevant to clinicians and services that need both staff development and home programme delivery.

Using Physicourses in an HCPC and RCOT CPD portfolio

Physicourses can support your HCPC CPD record, but course completion alone does not guarantee continued registration. At Physitrack, we do not claim that Physicourses holds formal approval or accreditation from the HCPC or RCOT. You remain responsible for selecting relevant learning and showing how it contributes to your occupational therapy practice.

Course completion certificates and logged learning hours can provide evidence of self-directed CPD. For each completed course, retain the certificate and recorded duration, and note the course title and completion date. Add a short reflection that explains what you learned and how you applied it to improve your practice or benefit service users. A CPD record that connects the learning to a change in practice is more useful than a certificate alone because it shows the activity’s relevance and impact.

You can record courses completed through Physicourses in relation to RCOT's Career Development Framework, mapping relevant learning to your current role and professional development goals. Learning may form one part of a broader portfolio that includes supervision, peer discussion, workplace projects, and other professional activities.

Before choosing a course for a specific employer requirement or specialist credential, check the current course description and confirm what evidence your organisation accepts. Rely on accreditation or approval only when Physitrack lists it explicitly for that course.

What's inside the OT course library

Physicourses gives occupational therapists access to an online rehabilitation education library with more than 400 courses and 2,500 hours of content. OTs can select relevant courses from the wider catalogue rather than following a fixed occupational therapy curriculum. Each completed course provides a record or certificate that clinicians can retain as CPD evidence.

The library serves occupational therapy alongside physiotherapy, athletic training, and chiropractic care. The multidisciplinary library suits OTs working in shared rehabilitation services, where patient needs may cross clinical areas. Clinic directors and department leads can offer one course library across a mixed rehabilitation service while each clinician chooses content relevant to their role.

Course content includes material from Gray Institute and Summit Professional Education. These partners contribute rehabilitation education courses to the broader Physicourses catalogue. Because available titles may change as the library develops, clinicians should review the current course description and learning objectives. They should also confirm the duration and completion requirements before adding a course to their CPD record.

Inside the bundle: CPD plus the HEP platform

Existing UK Physitrack licence holders can add Physicourses for £5 per user per month. The £5 charge is an add-on to the underlying Physitrack licence, rather than the total subscription price. UK and other international subscriptions combine CPD courses with Physitrack’s home exercise programme platform but do not include remote therapeutic monitoring.

US pricing follows a different model because the American bundle combines continuing education with HEP and RTM software. UK buyers should therefore assess Physicourses as a CPD and HEP package without assuming that US RTM features or pricing apply.

Occupational therapists can use HEP access to turn relevant course material into patient exercise programmes. Clinicians can build programmes using Physitrack's exercise library and send them through the PhysiApp patient app. Patients can record exercise completion and report pain or difficulty, while clinicians review session-level information in the Physitrack dashboard.

Physicourses can suit independent occupational therapists and NHS or private clinics that already use exercise prescription. Standalone CPD providers generally focus on education, while the Physicourses bundle connects education with tools for delivering and monitoring home programmes.

Who Physicourses suits

Physicourses best suits independent occupational therapists who want flexible online CPD alongside Physitrack’s home exercise programme tools. Clinicians can complete courses around their caseload while using the same subscription to prescribe and monitor patient programmes.

Multidisciplinary clinics and NHS or private occupational therapy departments can provide Physicourses to staff in occupational therapy and physiotherapy, as well as sports rehabilitation and related fields. A shared platform gives clinic directors and department leads a consistent source of professional education and clinical exercise tools.

Larger occupational health and rehabilitation services can use the same course library across occupational therapy and physiotherapy teams while retaining Physitrack’s HEP tools for clinical delivery.

Physicourses vs standalone CPD providers

Physicourses suits buyers who want CPD and home exercise programme tools under one subscription. Standalone UK CPD providers focus primarily on education, although their offerings and prices vary.

Choose a standalone provider when you need only a particular course. Choose Physicourses when your clinicians also need HEP software for routine patient care.

Getting started with Physicourses in the UK

Existing Physitrack licence holders can add Physicourses directly for £5 per clinician per month. You can contact your Physitrack account representative to discuss activating the CPD and HEP bundle.

New users can start with a Physitrack trial or licence and then add Physicourses. Before activating the add-on, confirm that the catalogue fits your development goals. If it does, contact Physitrack to discuss the appropriate licence and add-on.

FAQs

• Is Physicourses accredited by HCPC or RCOT? Accreditation is formal recognition that a course or provider meets an organisation’s specified standards. Physitrack does not claim HCPC or RCOT accreditation for Physicourses, but it provides course completion records and certificates. Occupational therapists can retain those records in their CPD portfolios while documenting each activity’s relevance and impact themselves.
• Does the UK Physicourses bundle include RTM? Remote therapeutic monitoring is a service for monitoring prescribed treatment between appointments. The UK bundle combines Physicourses CPD content with Physitrack’s home exercise programme tools, but it does not include RTM. UK buyers therefore receive the international CPD and HEP bundle rather than the US package.
• How much does Physicourses cost in the UK? The UK price is a £5 monthly add-on for each existing Physitrack licence holder. Physitrack adds Physicourses to the clinician’s current HEP subscription. Clinic directors can therefore provide course access without buying a separate education platform.
• Which disciplines and countries does Physicourses support? Physicourses supports learning across occupational therapy, physiotherapy, athletic training, and chiropractic care. Physitrack offers the platform in markets including the UK, US, Canada, and Australia. A multidisciplinary rehabilitation service can give clinicians in different roles access through one platform.
• Can existing Physitrack customers add Physicourses? Physicourses is available as an add-on to an active Physitrack licence. In the UK, Physitrack charges existing licence holders £5 per user per month for the add-on. This lets clinicians add CPD content while continuing to use their existing HEP tools.
