What is the process for applying for the HDS certification from India for working in the UK NHS?

HDS (Health Data Hosting) certification is a French regulatory requirement for organizations hosting personal health data - it is not required for individuals seeking to work in the UK's NHS.

To work as a physiotherapist in the NHS, you need to have your qualifications assessed by the UK's Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). This involves submitting your education and work experience for review.

You will also need to demonstrate English proficiency, typically through the IELTS exam.

If you need guidance on the HCPC application process, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
