Hi there guys,

We would like to know if you are or know of any BUPA Registered Physio's with <5 yrs experience? This is likely to be people who work for a BUPA hospital in the UK.

We hear this is common practice within BUPA, yet they won't permit anyone with less than 5 yrs register with any other company or by themselves. In short this is a restriction of trade practice. We don't have any hard evidence on who they might be and whether this does go on so please help. This is an anonymous forum so we won't know who you are so please give us some indication if you know this is going on.

Additionally by saying you must be more than >5 yrs since graduation (irrespective of experience or work history) they are in fact saying we will not register anyone under 26yrs of age. I figure 18 plus 3 for the degree plus 5 takes you to about that age.

Without putting an age on it, the effect for many newer graduates is the same. This is against EU law. I have tried to get the CSP and Physio First to take up this case but it continues to fall on deaf ears. Let's make a stance online as this forum is widely referenced and the search engines love it.

Power to the UK Physios!
