Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Health and Social Care Professionals Act 2005 (Section 95(3)) (Variation of Title: Physical Therapist) Regulations 2018: Motion

9:00 am

Ms Deirdre Walsh:

No, an institute offered that training but that course has now ceased. There will be no further graduates of the physical therapist qualification. They cannot register. There was a once-off window for the 300 who had been practising for 25 years with established practices. There is no more opportunity post the registration date. There would be people in future who will have qualifications in musculoskeletal therapy of a different kind, but they are not entitled to register with CORU or use the protected title.
