Hi Gail
Thank you so much for your treatment back in February! I’ve had a long term issue with an old ankle injury, and usually suffer for my skiing fun. But with your 45 minute treatment on day one, I was not only skiing without pain and better than the previous few years, but have also had none of the usual problems when I came home.

I’ve had physiotherapists giving regular treatment for the past five years, and none where as good, as effective or as insightful as you. I would recommend you to anyone. Thank you!

Kind regards
Clare

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying, yes you should probably register with your local comptable (accountant) after you start working in france, they will advice probably the micro type of account, you wwill pay a ppercentage of your income, if it is quite small, in fact you may not have to pay income tax, but will pay your URSSAF, which is the oobligatory to cover all those on maternity leave, the dole etc!, charges for professional tax for your departement and your local town where you work, yes lots of taxes, if you count around 47% of your income for charges/taxes you will not be too disappointed! You will have to pay for a pension too, even though you probably won’t get much at the end, its obligatory in France, unlike Britain where you can chose to opt out. Unfortunately sometimes you pay more than you should the first 3 years as they don’t know at the start you won’t be working all the year, they should adjust this after the 3 years, bienvenue en France!

Hope that helps, best to get the comptable to do all the paperwork, he will organise your SIRET no which will let the tax people know where you are and you will get your Carte Vitalle, which is your card for getting your health care, like the National Insurance in Britain, after that you will probably need a Mutuelle you pay the rest of the costs, it depends of course

Hi Gail,
Have read your blog with much interest. I am a principal physio (qualified for 30 years!) running a 5 physio practice in England who has been going through the registration process in France over the last year!
I now have my ‘Attestation’ and have registered with the OrdreMK locally in my departement which is Charente-Maritime. the reason for doing this is that we have a house there and I would like to be able to work in both places – UK and France. I have also taken out french professional liability assurance.
My next step is get my Adeli number and register at the social security. Like you, I want to pay whatever taxes are due – but I am not going to be in France very much at first, so only want to pay taxes appropriate to what I earn. I have done a bit of research into MicroBNC and can see that as professions liberales we are limited to how we can structure things. I was just wondering, if you don’t mind saying which type of business structure you are and whether you have to pay a fixed amount of tax/social security payments or whether it is dependent on earnings.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, the salary ranges are so different depending on where you work if its a rivate hospital or general, if you are in private practice or not. Best to contact the hospital/cabinet where you would like to work andx discuss your salary.

Hi,
Can you give me an idea of the salary ranges for working as a physio in France?
I have 20 years of general orthopedic experience in private and hospital setting. I’m interested in working 20 hours or so a week.
Thanks so much.

Hello!
I’m a student physio student in the UK but would like to work in France when I graduate (my family lives there).

Could you give me any tips and information on what I would have to do to register so I would be able to work in France?

Many thanks!

Katie

Bonjour Leah,

Le système est un peux différent, tu trouve beaucoup d’info via le Chartered Society of Physiotherapists site, obligé a écrire en anglais! Je crois tu as besoin a faire un dossier pour NHS et faite un stage avec le HPC, Health for Professionals Council, je crois. Après ca se faite (ils vérifier tout tes diplomes), tu peux travail publique dans les hôpitaux et cabinets NHS multi-disciplinary avec les infirmier etc, salarie ou privé (liberale) dans un cabinet privé, non salarie normalement, mais plus que les seances ici!; Normalement ils veux plus que 5 ans travail après diplome avec plusieur formations en addition de ton diplome (on fait acupuncture la aussi).

Alors, peut être mieux tu contact le CSP pour tout l’info courante. Si jamais ce trops, tu peux aussi travail plus facilement comme Sports Massage Therapist, pas dans le système NHS liberale. Bon courage.
