Differences also in the European OT congress, 2016 Galway, Ireland:
More than 900 participants, 710 presentationsOf those are only 32 from post- communistcountries ( post-Yougoslavian, Baltic states, Bulgaria, Poland) 12 European countries have no active participants. In two cases (Bosnia, Lithuania), co-authors are MDs, my
colleagues from PRM section – good example of collaboration.25 years of effort of West-European OTs to support OT development in post-communist
countries was succesful . But only partially.
How to continue in this effort?
DISCUSSION:Knowledge of respondents? – They are delegates of
their countries, they should know.
Reasons for striking differences between countries:Tradition? Education? Number of OTs
Table COTEC 2015:Number of OTs / 100 000 citizens
CR 9 Slovenia 16, Lithunia 10, Croatia 9, Latvia 6, Bulgaria 0,4 Not included: Poland, Romania, Hungary,Slovakia et al.
West-European differences: Denmark 145, Italy 2,7
Slovakia – Czech debt, we intend to support OT
ConclusionsConclusions and suggestions for OT and suggestions for OT development in CEE countriesdevelopment in CEE countries::
1) The combination between the support by entusiastic West European OTs
2) and also by local PRM doctors, who understand importance of OT and who can persuade local authorities to help by political decisions.
Next European OT congress will be held 2020 in Prague – centre of Europe.
Hopefully many active participants will be from Central and Eastern Europe and improvent of situation will be referred from several countries
e.g. Ukraine-LvovOccupational therapy is important for rehabilitation
of PwD – reason to collaborate with RI!
Comparison of 3 European networks:1) PRM physicians – CEE fully included2) OT organizations –CEE participating3) RI Europe – CEE nearly disappeared
Before 1989 „East European group“: Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland. 1989 RI Conference in Estonia1991 RI GA in unified Berlin 1994 RI European Conference Budapest 2002 RI European Conference Aachen – 2002 RI European Conference Aachen – strong strong CEE supportCEE support2006 RI seminar in Vienna (AUVA) „RI development in CEE countries“
RI Europe situation 2010:
RI Europe in 2016In Edinburgh GA: CEE delegates present, Many CEE countries left RI in several steps: a) do not participate, b) do not pay, c) left directory (is there any?).Or never were RI members. CEE countries: All former USSR, all former Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria
International AbilympicsInternational Abilympics (IA) (IA) (content of vocational (content of vocational and leisure time and leisure time activities)activities)
Still active, also in CEE countriesStill active, also in CEE countries
Supported by RI. Since 1991 Czech National A.5th IA 2000 Prague 2016 Bordeaux, France,UK participatedCEE active!
Situation inside RI Europe: 2010 the last representative RI conference in
Copenhagen. 2014 European RI conference in Warsaw practically
cancelled. 2O16 – Present is well illustrated by RI General
Assembly and Congress in Edinburgh
My aim, how to support ideas of RI: Spread this ideas among European PRM physicians. Support development of OT in CR and in Europe Hope in positive development of RI Europe
