Considering that registration with the Order of Physiotherapists is a necessary legal condition for practising the profession in Portugal, the Order of Physiotherapists and the Central Administration of the Health System, IP signed a memorandum of understanding, within the scope of access to and regulation of the exercise of the profession of physiotherapist in Portugal.
With this in mind, the Order will now accept applications for registration from holders of academic qualifications in Physiotherapy obtained in Portugal, as well as from holders of a Physiotherapist's professional card already issued by the ACSS, IP.
Citizens with qualifications obtained abroad and who do not yet have a professional card should go to the ACSS to register before registering with the Order.
As a result of this understanding, access to the registration process will be available on the Order's website this week.
