• Supervise, teach and appraise peers, physiotherapists, physiotherapy assistants, technical instructors, students and other members of the multidisciplinary or multi‑agency teams.
• Train and supervise service users, families or carers and staff from other disciplines or agencies to carry out programmes of care devised by the therapist.
