The Winter School is an annual educational event organized by the Latvian Physiotherapists Association in collaboration with the Young Professionals and Students Network. It is dedicated to physiotherapy students, young specialists, and industry enthusiasts. The main goal of the event is to combine theoretical knowledge, practical workshops, and experience exchange on current physiotherapy topics, thereby promoting the development of the industry and improving the skill level of specialists.
This year, the event featured Laura Slavinska, the senior physiotherapist from the Vaivari Technical Aids Centre, who led a presentation on the assistive device circulation system. Her practical workshop on preparing quality assessments in e-health provided participants with valuable examples and recommendations for everyday work. Laura's presentation particularly emphasized the importance of the requirements for preparing digital assessments, descriptions of functioning, urgency criteria, and specific conditions for the allocation of assistive devices. These aspects are crucial for improving the quality of the prepared documentation, the transfer of information from specialist to specialist, thus ensuring more effective patient service.
Thank you to everyone who actively participated and showed interest in the event! Your participation is essential for continuing to develop the physiotherapy field, promoting professional growth, and improving the assistive device circulation system in Latvia.

Important points in Laura's presentation include:
- how to properly prepare digital assessments,
- how to describe a person's functioning,
- how to determine the level of urgency,
- what the specific conditions for the allocation of assistive devices are.
These points help improve the quality of documents and the transfer of information from one specialist to another. They also help ensure faster and better patient service. For example, if a physiotherapist clearly writes an assessment, the next specialist quickly understands the patient's needs and can more easily choose an appropriate assistive device.
