Question by Veng: is it free to train as a physiotherapist in the british NHS?
after A-level can one study at uni to become a physio paid for by the government?
i know all the uni students have to take loans or have rich parents but someone told me that NHS pays for anyone studying PHYSIOTHERAPY.
is there any truth to this

Answer by happy go lucky
You have to go to uni to study to be a physiotherapist before getting a job in the NHS so yes like everybody else you have to take out student loans. Once you are qualified you can then apply for any physiotherapy jobs. The NHS wouldn’t take you on as a trainee physio. Some hospitals do have physiotherapy assistants for which you don’t need training as they train you on the job but you would only ever be an “assistant” and not the fully fledged physiotherapist. Hope this helps.
