I'm a UK physio and have been qualified 13 years and work in musculoskeletal.

I'm interested in moving to Spain to work in the private sector and set up my own clinic.

I've received the info from the CSP so far on 'Spain' but just wondered how hard it was to get started through all the red tape.

I'd be looking to start in an area where there's lots of expats to allow me time to improve on developing my Spanish - the CSP mention there can be a good market in areas where there are expats as they tend to look for British physios.

One of my concerns is regarding autonomy. Are you allowed to treat patients independantly or must the referral come from a Doctor?

Any help/links would be much appreciated
