I ended up being a mentor for senior 1 physiotherapists and a point of reference for many of my colleagues’ Qualifications for entry Students enrolling for the PGCert Neuromusculoskeletal physiotherapy will hold an appropriate honours degree qualification, which is recognised for registration purposes by the Health Professions Council (HPC) and Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).
