Tony Barr

Govt. O&P License Requirement Poll:

U.S.A-No

U.K- Yes

Germany -Yes

South Africa-Yes

Australia-NO

How about France,Beligium,Italy, Russia,Austria, China,etc

Can anyone provides some assistance on the requirement for other non third world countries???

I’ll post the reslts to the listserves.Thanks in advance!Tony Barr

What countries require a license to practise the O&P trade/profession?

Are there oversight compliance agencies that monitor the quality of work and determine pricing of components?

Tony Barr ‘

I do not know of licensing law in any countries apart from the UK.

Here in the UK there are stringent requirements and training before

anyone can apply their services as a prosthetist/orthotist. The

minimum is a 3 year university degree and post graduate

qualifications are desirable.

Hope this is of some use.

Regards,

Vicky
