  • Promoting the growth of the field of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy and high standards in developing countries.
  • Support for good quality research that will inform best practice of cardiorespiratory therapy.
  • Patient and Carer Support.
  • Education and Training.
  • Advocacy of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy as a credible entity to fellow therapists, other members of the health care team, international organisations and patients.
  • Collaboration with other organisations.
  • Creation of a network for cardiorespiratory therapists to engage with one another.
