Hello
Could anyone explain to me the difference between the band 5 and band 6 in the UK?
I finished my degree in Portugal, in 2009, I have years o post-graduate experience, additional courses, but not a master in physiotherapy.
I think I am a band 5 physiotherapist, but I donīt know when I will be a band 6 physiotherapist.
How does happens the transition from a band 5 to a band 6?
Thank you very much for your attention

Hi
In my opinion it depends in your ability to work independently without any direct supervision and to a more specialist level with some level of postgraduate education and extended skills. If you qualified in 2009 you should be well on your way to thinking about applying for a band 6 post especially if you have completed your core rotations. There is no direct progression from band 5 to 6 as they are separate jobs.
Hello
Thank you very much for your clarification. I only have worked in Portugal where there are not core rotations. Anyway your clarification was very important to me.
Many thanks
