at the Highest Level

On May 11th 2006, it was formally agreed by the Health Professions Council ‘to recommend to the Secretary of State that, in the interests of public protection, Sports Therapists should be regulated.’

Since this momentous decision was made, The Society of Sports Therapists has subsequently been involved in consultation meetings looking to move the process forward with regard to the academic criteria and requirements to be implemented at the point of regulation. More details on where we are will be made available in the near future.

In the meantime, The Society of Sports Therapists, instrumental in initiating and facilitating the original application feels that it is appropriate to highlight a small percentage of the letters of support that it received when making the application.

Letters of support came from all levels and backgrounds and, as can be seen from some of the examples shown, support was received from some highly significant people and organisations in sport, sports medicine and healthcare in the UK today.
