The physiotherapy profession has seen a rise in professional autonomy over the past four decades. The provision of an influential
medical ethics online course aspect for the individual practitioners of the practise, as well as individually, is a significant feature of professional autonomy. Growing autonomy thus increases the need for physiotherapists to have formal ethical considerations and serves to reflect more directly on the ethical competence of a single physiotherapist-the capacity to recognise, evaluate, examine and conclude ethical concerns in daily practise.
