Chartered Physiotherapists

Only members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, (known as “Chartered Physiotherapists”) have the letters “MCSP” or “FCSP” after their name. Always look for the letters “MCSP” or “FCSP” after the Practitioner’s name. Registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) is only possible when therapists have undergone the required training and passed the necessary state recognised examinations to enable them to practice within the NHS or in Private Practice.

Yes. Anyone can receive private treatment from a Chartered Physiotherapist in private practice. The fees for Physiotherapy and private practice treatment qualify for refund under most Health Insurance Schemes, including PPP, BUPA and VHI.

No, not necessarily. You may consult a Chartered Physiotherapist without a doctor’s referral, but contact will usually be maintained between your GP and Physiotherapist. Chartered Physiotherapists work in close cooperation with GPs in much the same way as consultants do, and this relationship is for the ultimate benefit of you, the patient.

Chartered Physiotherapists, like doctors work to rigid code of ethical conduct set by their professional body and are only permitted limited advertising.
