The development of items for a physiotherapy clinical programme evaluation tool.

Background: Evaluating a physiotherapy clinical education programme is challenging, given its complex and multidimensional nature, resulting in a paucity of research on the topic.

Objectives: The objective of our study, which was part of a larger study, was to identify items that could be included in a tool to evaluate a physiotherapy clinical education programme in South Africa.

Method: A qualitative study utilising focused group discussions including academics, clinical educators and clinicians was undertaken.
