I don't know...but if you do find an agency offering work, DON'T give them any money.
Oh, and welcome to the forum !

Hmm ... you could contact the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, 14 Bedford Row, London WC1R 4ED (Telephone +44 20 7306 6666).
www.csp.org.uk
Having said that, it's likely to be a fruitless exercise - for the following main reasons:
1. Qualification obtained - in countries other than the UK - are [very] UNLIKELY to be considered as being on a par with those required to practise in
2. 's economy - in line with many nations globally - is such that, few [if any] job applicants (even among professionals) from overseas are currently being accepted for employment.

Welcome to the forum,
Just to make it dead clear to you, DO NOT give any agency ANY MONEY......... 99% are scammers who will try to entice you to part with your cash. They will try every trick to fool you. They can give you names, addresses, photos, application forms and real looking contracts.... please BEWARE 99% are FAKE.
I wish you luck.If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up

... we're not being pessimistic, above - simply realistic, in order to guard members against false optimism.

Hi my wife is also a Physiotherapist (BSc Physical Therapy) from the Philippines, and when we met she was working as a PT and dietician on the cruise ships.
We did at one stage look into what was needed, and firstly you need to get a Statement of Comparability from NARIC www.naric.org.uk to show what level your qualifications are equivilent to in the UK.
After we'd done that, I can't remember where we went, but we discovered that Marvie would need to study for a further 1 or 2 years in the UK to become a qualified Physio there.
Title of Award: Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy
Awarding Institute: World Citi College (Quezon City Medical Centre & Colleges)
Assessment: is considered compararable to BTEC / SQA Higher National Diploma (HND) Standard / Foundation Degree Standard
We still have to discover what these means to the HPC Council, but normally a HND/Foundation Degree will allow you to receive 2 years dispensation from a BSc Degree.
In the end our plans changed, and Marvie is a fulltime housewife. But I think she wants to become a Personal Trainer again at some point, even just part time.
