To work as a physiotherapist in the United Kingdom, you must be registered with the
Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC)
. This is the official regulatory body for physiotherapists in the UK. Overseas-trained applicants will need to have their qualifications assessed and meet the HCPC’s professional standards before being legally allowed to practise.
If you are an internationally qualified physiotherapist looking for guidance, visit our
