Working in Bermuda

[ctriggs]

Does anyone know how to obtain registration to work in Bermuda? I am currently living and working in the UK......

Maybe contact the CSP and ask if they can help....they are usually pretty useful in supplying info about working overseas

[ctriggs]

ok, will do....thankyou

Have you also tried Googling health services in Bermuda to contact the Health authorities there? Usually, if countries in the NACPT (North American and Caribbean Region) don't have a large number of PT's, they may not have an association/board, but want you to at least be registered in your country of training.
I have seen PT jobs advertised on websites online though for Bermuda so it may be worthwhile to also contact the Health Services department/Ministry there as well.

At their website they have Board for Physiotherapy ,but only phone numbers ,no emails .At the Health departement .

There is a website that I found that has some online links to physiotherapists in Bermudahttp://www.bermudamed.cim/island_hea..._-_bermuda.htm

Hope that helps

or they at least may be contact numbers , search through and see. It is however better if you talk to them personally. It's better for us in the Caribbean to have a converstaion with you rather than email.

Thankyou so much i will try the website.....how exciting!

Well,the link above is not working at least for me . Anyway, weeks ago I was moving between websites of that Island which I do not know ,seems the license /registration process condations /requriements ask the applicant to have job offer /employer notification /letter within the application process for forgieners , which is little restrictive for me in the employing process. No emplyer will wait until a process of recognition complete ,may be they are working very very fast in recognising process.That is really against basic human rights like exactly Gulf region countries of Kuwait , UAE ,Oman ,Saudia Arabia ....Making the Employer owner of the Employee.however Bermuda may be different i do not know

anyway,good luck

I think that was the website. I put "cim" instead of "com".
Emad, there will always seem to be restrictions depending on where you go to work. It may have to do with the government or religious nature of the country, or just simply protection of their citizens, but you always reserve the right to go there to work.
Have no fears however, Clare, I have had friends who have worked in Bermuda and loved it. Just be prepared to work. It's not a holiday, even though the islands are "paradise"!!!

Hello Kmd :
Absolutely , I agree with you .Restrications are there in any place of any nature .By the way , It is my first time to know Bermuda and your country Trinidad and Tobago . Seems Curbian area is not popular globally , USA takes popularity .
