After completing my MSc program, can I work only as a spot physiotherapist or as a general physiotherapist in the UK?

Yes, after completing your MSc in Physiotherapy in the UK and registering with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), you can work as a fully qualified general physiotherapist - not just in temporary or spot roles.

- HCPC registration is mandatory to practice as a physiotherapist in the UK.
- Once registered, you can work in hospitals, clinics, or private practices.
- No additional licensing exam is required for UK graduates.
- Membership in the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) is optional, not required for licensing.
