GUIDELINES FOR INDIAN THERAPIST TO ENTER UK

[brindamerchant]

Hello to all aspiring physios looking to work in the UK.
It is definetly a good choice to make as you have to consider various options when choosing the country you want to work and live. America and Australia are good but then you must be ready to take the exams and practicals and then go through the visa processing.
I have been in the UK for 2 years and now I am a senior 1 physiotherapist with the nhs. I can share my experiences of how i managed to get the job if anyone is interested.

hi,i m currently doing my p.g in neurosciences frm mumbai.i have 2 yrs of full time work experience . i m planning to aply for hpc next year.however i m uncertain abt the kind of jobs i ll get.could you plz guide me?

Hi My name is Dwijen. I am a physiotherapist from India. I have completed my bachelors in Physiotherapy and at present i am doing a job. Can anyone guide me exactly how an indian physiotherapist can get the HPC registraiton? Is it necessary to get the CSP (chartered society of phyiotherapists) registration also in order to get work in the UK? OR, is HPC registration sufficient to get work over there? Will it be a wise decision to try to come to UK at present in the first place? If not, which are the other foreign countries that are good and suitable for indian physios? I need to take a decision quickly regarding my future, somebody from the indian physios please guide me out, Thank you

It seems to,me that, you enjoy' beating around the bush '

Make a concerted effort..on your own
Set a goal..and pursue..basic details..right at original sources
Don't ..be led by hearsays..!

You can browse through uk pt jobs on the internet
Down load the HPC from &go through in detail ,an do what is required
If you can enter Uk through some known contacts , you can get employment even without HPC regn & while in UK you can apply and get one

You can also fill in the HPC application in India , attach all what is required
and send along the payment , you will get your HPC regn certificate right in India
Once you have the HPC certificate , apply to jobs directly through internet
(direct employers) &you will get one.

Trust your direct efforts..

hi sudarsan,
how is the situation in uk now, I heard from some of my friends in uk that the work permit is very difficult nowadays. do the uk govt still restricting the work permit for other nationality to work in uk with NHS hospitals. Myself and my husband got HPC and we are bit concerned about the current status in uk. If you know any information regarding kindly let me know.

Can someone please advice if that's of any relevance since Physios are not considered as doctors. Can someone please confirm or guide me to the right directon Please ?

Thank you
