Hello Annette :

I am NOt British , i am there out away of Europe , just i am interested in what is going on through registration all over the Globe .

The real problem is when they are going to assess/evaluate a physiotherapist Education ,on what base are they asess . Let be more clear if a german physiotherapist ( graduated in 1999) applied for registration in Uk in the year 2008 ! Of course , comparing a course from 1999 to 2008 is not fair at all . However , i think the issue of experience is very crucial , because with experience the communication skills are improving which i believe main thin the physiotherapist,s competence .

As for UK , i think the government needs to review the law of physiotherapist grading ,because there are many unemployed graduates and many vacant jobs need seniors only as i read in 1 news agency .

I have read the UK curriculum ,the most interesting is the Reflective physiotherapist producing through that curriculum , and producing a physiotherapist self-dependant through CPD ( Learing ) process and Evidence-Based Practicse , thus what is written through the Officil curriculum . I think the point of the Official Curriculum content and the quality of real physiotherapist teaching is another issue .

I will search for credits links and give you them .

Best Wishes
Emad
