🌍✈️ Erasmus+ Mobility Across Europe ✨

In recent months, our Erasmus+ team has been actively preparing for future collaborations with visits to:
• Dublin (August 2025)
• Vienna (September 2025)
• Greece (September 2025)

From 25–29 August, representatives from the Directorate Allied Health Services visited Dublin and Cork, meeting professionals in:
🔬 Clinical Perfusion – Mater Misericordiae Hospital
🧠 Social Work – Balseskin Health Centre
🗣️ Medical Laboratory Science & Speech & Language Pathology – Cork University Hospital
📋 Health Administration – St. James’ Hospital
🦶 Podiatry & 👂 Audiology – Tallaght University Hospital

✅ These visits laid the groundwork for upcoming job shadowing opportunities, aimed at strengthening collaboration and introducing innovative practices to Malta’s Allied Health Services.

September kicked off with another amazing Erasmus experience! This time, our team also joined the EFPC Conference, made great new connections, set the stage for EFPC Malta 2027 🇲🇹, met with the Ministry of Health in Vienna 🇦🇹, and visited five primary care centres — what a week of growth and collaboration!

🦷 Meanwhile, the Dental Technology Department is preparing Erasmus+ placements at Lenorman Dental Center (KEFOK) in Greece 🇬🇷 — a specialised public centre serving remote communities with complex dental needs. This will give allied health professionals valuable hands-on experience in a high-impact public health setting.

📢 Stay tuned as we continue building bridges across Europe to enhance Malta’s healthcare.

💙 Illum qed nagħtu ġieħ lil 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐦 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐢, fiżjoterapista ta’ 25 sena b’erba’ snin esperjenza professjonali, bl-aħħar sena tiegħu fil-qasam tal-pedjatrija.

👶 “In-natura tiegħi kreattiva u ferrieħa flimkien mal-paċenzja u l-empatija huma kwalitajiet essenzjali li nġib fix-xogħol ta’ kuljum tiegħi. Huma jgħinuni biex ngħin lit-tfal itejbu l-mobilità u s-saħħa kardjorespiratorja tagħhom waqt li jkunu l-isptar jew fuq bażi ta’ outpatient.

Fil-fiżjoterapija pedjatrika nagħti wkoll importanza kbira li nsaħħaħ il-ġenituri billi nagħraf ir-rwol essenzjali tagħhom biex jgħinu lit-tfal jiksbu saħħithom u jilħqu l-għanijiet tagħhom.

It-tbissim u l-kliem ta’ radd il-ħajr li nirċievi mit-tfal u l-familji tagħhom jagħmluli l-ġurnata, u jagħtuni sodisfazzjon u apprezzament kbir għax-xogħol tiegħi.”

Barra mix-xogħol professjonali tiegħu, Malcolm igawdi minn proġetti żgħar tal-ħjata ✂️ li jħalluh jesprimi u jkabbar il-kreattività u l-paċenzja tiegħu.

💙 Today we’re shining a spotlight on Malcolm Camilleri, a 25-year-old physiotherapist with four years of professional experience, most recently in paediatrics.

👶 “My playful and creative nature, together with my patience and empathy, are essential qualities I bring to my daily work. They allow me to help children improve their mobility and cardiorespiratory health while admitted in hospital and on an outpatient basis.

In paediatric physiotherapy I also prioritise empowering parents through recognising their essential role in helping children optimise their health and achieve their goals.

The smiles and heartfelt thank-yous I receive from the children and their families make my day, giving me a sense of fulfilment and appreciation for the work I do.”

Outside of his professional life, Malcolm enjoys small sewing projects ✂️ which allow him to further express and nurture his creativity and patience.

🌍8th September is World Physiotherapy Day focusing on Healthy Ageing and Prevention of Falls and Frailty.

Ageing is often linked to conditions such as dementia, frailty, and chronic diseases. People who are more active are up to 41% less likely to experience frailty.

🏃🏻‍♂️Exercise is key to fall prevention. Exercises should be challenging, safe, and progressive.

Physiotherapists play a vital role in helping people to stay active through personalised exercise programmes that improve strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility.

🏃🏻‍♀️Stay active. Stay independent - Consult the Physiotherapist for advice on individualised exercise programmes and preventing falls.

🌍 World Physiotherapy Day – 8 September 2025 🌟
Theme: Healthy Ageing – Prevention of Falls and Frailty

Today we celebrate the incredible dedication, professionalism, and compassion of our physiotherapists. Every day, through your expertise and care, you help people recover, stay active, and live healthier, stronger lives — making a real difference for our patients and our communities.

This year’s theme highlights the vital role physiotherapists play in helping older adults maintain mobility, independence, and safety. Falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults — but they are not inevitable. Through targeted exercise, education, and personalised care, physiotherapists empower individuals to age actively and confidently. Staying active throughout life reduces the risk of many chronic conditions, prevents falls, and supports mental well-being. Physiotherapists provide expert advice on individualised exercise programmes, pain management, and strategies to improve strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility.

On behalf of the Director of Allied Health Services Maria Louisa Busuttil the professional lead and entity leads, we extend a heartfelt thank you to all our physios across every one of our entities. We are proud of you and deeply grateful for everything you do.

Join us in recognising the impact of physiotherapy on lifelong health and well-being. We are Allied Health Services Malta

☀️💪 Summer with the Physiotherapy Team at CDAU 💪☀️

This summer we didn’t slow down — we moved more!

Our team ran 4 weekly classes all summer long, packed with fun and hard work, focusing on:
✅ Core stability
✅ Coordination
✅ Building confidence in movement

Week after week, our children showed us just how much they can achieve with the right support, practice, and encouragement. We’re so proud of their progress – stronger cores, better balance, and lots of smiles along the way.

Because as physiotherapists, we believe movement is for every season. 🌈

In commemoration of World Physiotherapy Day, physiotherapists within Active Ageing and Community Care, in collaboration with Care Malta, organized aquatic therapy sessions for community-dwelling older adults and residents of care homes. The initiative sought to promote healthy ageing while supporting the prevention of frailty and falls.
