Dear JohnLMA
In the UK you need to be registered with the Health Professional Council (HPC) to work as a physiotherapist. It would be best to contact them direct, www.hpc-uk.org, in order to find out whether your qualifications are transferable and also what you would need to do if they are not.
From a job perspective it's pretty dire in the UK in the NHS. We have many home graduates who do not work as physio's, some do assistant work or try to keep in health care in order to boost their CV, others give up the ghost and get out. Everyone is hanging on to their jobs even if they should be looking at higher banding, and it is not just the graduates. You need to be flexible, private and locum work, whatever helps your CV.
Hope this helps and good luck for the future
