Please see below: Announcing IFSHT Publication: R.E.A.C.H., September 2021

R.E.A.C.H. Volume 1, No. 2 - September 2021

IFSHT is pleased to announce Volume 1, No. 2 of our new publication, R.E.A.C.H.: Research, Education, Achievement and Clinicians in Hand and Upper limb therapy around the world!

R.E.A.C.H. was born out of an IFSHT Executive Committee brainstorming session in London in February 2020. With plans underway for the new IFSHT website, the Executive Committee decided to consolidate the IFSHT Update and the Hand Therapy Connections Newsletter into a new publication called R.E.A.C.H.

Our deepest thanks once again go out to our Information Officer, Susan De Klerk (South Africa) and her highly skilled and dedicated Publication Committee: Daniel Harte (Ireland), Toni Rippey (New Zealand), Mia Erickson (USA) and Tsitsi Morove (Zimbabwe). This amazing team has developed an informative and beautiful digital newsletter for hand therapists throughout the world to enjoy.

To access the September 2021 edition of R.E.A.C.H., click here or copy and paste this link into your browser: https://ifsht.org/publications/reach-newsletter-issue-2/.

If you are excited about R.E.A.C.H. and you have skills and interests well suited for the IFSHT Publication Committee, please inquire via email to president(at)ifsht.org . The committee seeks to add one more therapist to their team for the next year. The role would be to work on R.E.A.C.H. and the IFSHT contribution to the IFSSH Ezine.

Please take a look at our website and our new publication and send us some feedback. We welcome your comments and ideas.

Sincerely,

Nicola Goldsmith (UK)

IFSHT President, 2019-2022
