Aptitude test

[katerinaCZ]

Hello everyone,

I'm a physiotherapist from the Czech Republic. Last year I applied for the HCPC registration and they want me to undergo the period of adaptation or pass the aptitude test first. As it seem rather impossible to find a place for the adaptation period I decided to try the test.

And my question is - does anyone here have any experience with this test/interview, he or she would like to share? As I asked the HCPC they gave me very general information about their requirements. I will be very thankful for any details :-)

Thanks!

Katerina :-)

Hi Chris, I didnt pass the test. You would really need to be proficient in Respiratory and MSK and Neuro. You have to describe a case study and they ask the questions - why would you use this method, how would you check if it is effeicient, etc, why would you measure this and that instead of upper trapezius etc....what is a certain clinical test is negative etc. Not easy. I did adaptation with Monroe Medical NI but if you feel that you know the way assessments are done in the UK - try it and go for it. It wouldbe good to study some UK case studies before the test. Good luck

test - you need to describe a case study reg. respiratory, msk and neuro and while you describe it, they ask questions. You start. I have a patient with...... and I used the followng assessment tools to assess....they might ask why do you perform Posterior Drawer Test? What do you check? etc
After you can say - the second visit - I will used the following outcome measure tools to check this and that......They might ask why do you use Borg Scale for brethlesness etc? You need to read a lot to pass it. I went to UK physio paid 30 pounds and hour to get prepared and didnt pass.... after years of looking for adaptation place, I find monroe medical - they offered flexible options. I realised that I really dont know much. All that - ACBT, SPUTUM, x rays, etc - they will ask about it. and anyway if you want to work after - you will need to know all of that, especially for hospitals they will ask MSK tests, outcome measures.

Thanks Alina.... emailed you a private message. I rang MM Ltd - professional good service. I think I will go ahead and do it though them. I got 17 refusal letters from hospitals that they cant offer me adaptation....but why HCPC asks for adaptation if it is so difficult to get a place. Hope it will work now...

Hi Dominique, please see my previous posts reg. the apt.test.Impossible to pass, in my opinion. Look at the HCPC web they have statistics how many people pass the test - 1 in 2014.
