title: The changing role of the resident.
abstract: Over the past decade the growing acceptance of the concept of Team Medicine and the advent of Intensive Care Units has led to a change in the role of the physiotherapist. This change requires a round-the-clock physiotherapy service and demands that the therapist take increased personal responsibility for patients, as the treatment given is essential and indeed may be life-saving.
