Registration Process[edit | edit source]
- Register with the Health Professions Council (HPC)
- Apply online via HPC to download the international application pack along with a one off non-refundable payment (scrutiny fee) of £420.
- An acknowledgement of a complete application or return of an incomplete application will occur within 8 weeks of receipt by the HPC. It will take a further 8 weeks to conduct background checks and assess the application.
- The registration cycle is biennial (two-yearly) for successful applications to join the register and is made up of two ‘professional years’ (1 May – 30 April). A registration fee of £152 covers you for two years of registration with the HPC and your certificate and registration number cannot be issued until payment is received in full.
Requirements[edit | edit source]
In order to apply for registration with the HPC the following documents must be completed:
- Equality and Diversity monitoring form
- Course information form
- Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics
- Standards of Proficiency
- Standards of Continuing Professional Development
- Professional Reference
- The HPC ask you to provide up to two professional reference forms to support your application. The professional reference should be given by someone who has been your supervisor/line manager or otherwise responsible for you in a professional capacity.
7. Character Reference
- A character reference needs to be provided by a person of standing in the community who is not a relative and who has known you for three years or more.
Additional Requirements[edit | edit source]
- Apply to be a full member of Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP)
- Apply to join the CSP online or alternatively by requesting an application pack at [email protected] or phone +44(0)20 7306 6666.
- Newly qualified members pay a one-off joining fee of £195.
- You will be required to pay an annual subscription fee. For a qualified member working the subscription is £311.04 or alternatively for a qualified member not working the subscription is £143.52.
- If you join after the start of the year, your cost will be calculated pro rata from the number of full or part months left in the year.
Job Opportunities[edit | edit source]
Once you have registered with the Health Professions Council, you will normally be in a position to apply for jobs.
Job vacancies for physiotherapists and physiotherapy assistants/clinical support workers are advertised in a range of places. Most National Health Service (NHS) trusts will advertise their vacancies on the NHS Jobs website.
