Hi,
I wondered if any Veterinary Physios out there could help me. I've seen a few posts by physios on here when I've been browsing.

I am looking into becoming a Veterinary Physiotherapist. I already have a relevant degree and many years experience with horses and dogs. However there are a couple of courses out there at the moment that I could do as a way into the industry, but there is some controversy as to how they will eventually regulate the industry.
The main route I am looking at is the PgDip/Msc at Harper Adams University. This allows me to register as a professional member of the NAVP.
The other option is via the CEPT advanced certificate in Veterinary Physiotherapy which is accredited by the University of Middlesex. This allows me to register with IRVAP.

What are people's opinions on the two routes? Which is most likely to be the qualification that remains when changes to regulation of the industry occur? And which are more likely to be referred to by vets?

Thank you.
 
Just a short reply - I have replied extensively on the subject before if you'd like to look back at some of my earliest posts - both organisations are involved with the current negotiations, and I think are equally likely to fall within the accepted routes when any eventual regulation may come to pass. IME referral by vets tends to be judged by individual competence rather than specific quals/memberships. Feel free to send me a PM if you have any questions.
