irish registration

[Michael13]

Hi, Can someone help me with the application form for the ISCP. I don't know where I should get all the information which they want to know. Is there a German physiotherapist who can give me some information where I can get all the info. about the German education of physiotherapy. Is it possible to work without this membership?

Thanks

You should purchase the eBook "A guide to your overseas career as a physiotherapist". This includes a detailed section on registration in Ireland.

Hi Michael,

It is not possible to work without your qualifications being recognised.

hi,
I wonder if it is possible to work in UK with Irish Physiotherapy license without any other registration in UK.

HI

If you are a member of the ISCP and your residence is in Ireland then under the terms of your insurance policy which is separate from your membership fees then you may practice in the private system in the UK for a period of up to 6 months. However if you wish to work in the public sytem you must be registered with the HPC and to use to the UK suffix MCSP you must be recognised by the CSP.

However, the point I really want to highlight with you is that please stop seeking ways to screw the system and to avoid having your qualifications recognised. These systems are in place to ensure that standards are met and that does who are not suitably qualified to practice do not.

If your qualifications are not good enough, then you cannot practice as a physiotherapist.

I can't agree with you more.

As a returning physio to the island of ireland I think you should review your comments. Your qualification in ireland does need to be recognised in Ireland to work as a physiotherapist but you do not need to be a member of the ISCP if you want to work for yourself. In hospital adverts you must be eligiable for registration. Irish physiotherapists are good but over the past 3 years the quality of some are very poor due to them being allowed to go straight into private practise by themselves. Worse still chartered physiotherapists are now working under and for "physical therapists"...... This really mens the Physiotherapist working for the physio assistant. Physio and physical therapit are not even protected titles in Ireland!! Unlike here in Australia or the U.K. There have also been headlines made by Irish physiotherapists who have advertised courses in Ireland and lying about senior lecturers/Professors attending which has resulted in international appologies in journals and at meetings in my state of New south wales /sydney, melbourne and Perth. Irish physiotherapy is being diluted at the moment and at board meeting in the past 6 months it has been taken that irish physiotherapist seeking to work in Australia and even New Zealand are haveing their qualifications and post grad training looked into due to the issues mentioned above.
