Physio in Amsterdam

[tamzin_aus]

Hi CJ,

I'm also an Australian-qualified physio looking into working in Amsterdam - just wondering how things are going for you over there? Any tips or info regarding registration and locums (and language!)?

Thanks!

Hi! Maybe this is a silly question because the title of this thread is Physio in Amsterdam.. but I've noticed a few of you are from Australia and wanting to move/work in Amsterdam. And another user wanting to move to Australia from the Netherlands... do you think this is just a coincidence or is there bigger correlation between the two countries and physio in general? Is it because of similar cultures? Similar philosophies towards physiotherapy? Or pure coincidence?

Just a thought!

I can speculate that...

The Dutch have always been a outgoing nation... and its a small country with lots of people living in it.... we are looking for space and have immigrated to all kinds of countries in the past.
Just about every Australians wants to go to Europe at some point. And of course, Amsterdam with its tolerant atmosphere has always attracted attention.

Physio education is not exactly the same. The "english" model is quite different to the Dutch....
