Post-Brexit, the UK faces a shortage of physiotherapists as European professionals’ previous ease of visa access has been significantly restricted. This change has led to increased job opportunities for physiotherapists within the UK. The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is the statutory regulator for 15 health and care professions in the United Kingdom. Its registration process is essential for ensuring that physiotherapists are qualified and competent and meet professional standards to practise in the UK. Additionally, patients are becoming increasingly aware of and compliant with home exercise regimens, making physiotherapy a demanding job in the UK. International physiotherapists can register in the United Kingdom by submitting the required documents. Unlike in other countries, there is no need for an exam.

The criteria for this are: You must have completed your training and obtained your qualification outside the UK, either BPT or MPT.
