Yes, you can work or practice in hospitals after completing your master's in physiotherapy abroad, but you must meet each country's licensing requirements.

- UK: Registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is required to practice as a physiotherapist.
- Ireland: You must register with CORU, the Health and Social Care Professionals Council, after having your qualifications assessed.
- Italy: You need recognition of your degree and a professional license (Albo dei Fisioterapisti) from the Italian Ministry of Health.

Language proficiency and additional assessments may be required. Requirements and procedures are subject to change.
