Working in Switzerland

[Judith Mollet]

Hi there. Yes I'm still here and living near Basel. The physio market here is possibly quite saturated and newly qualified swiss physios have problems with their first jobs, as far as I've heard. In privat practise you need at least a years experience if not more before the practise can employ you. All physio course here are also degrees now and I'm not sure how the degrees compare. My old English diploma course was fine many years ago and got SRK acceptance.. (Swiss Red Cross do it, or did it) We have loads of German physios here and if you would still live in Germany while working here in a hospital or rehab near the border it might be easier as a "Grenzgänger" How about contacting the swiss physio verband after looking at the website: physiothrapie, table de massage, matriels pour physiothrapeute, matriels mdical and asking for current information? Here it's still very "hands on" and although I'm no longer in contact with many NHS physios I think it's probably quite good working here compared to England. At the moment! bye the way the translation blurb if still there happened without my doing and I can't get rid of it !
