Can any governing bodies exclude other qualified personnel from practising?
No organisation other than those registered with HPC (i.e state registered) are allowed to regulate outside their own membership, just as we at Sports Therapy UK can and do not. An organisation such as ours are of course allowed to promote the standards we train to and maintain through our professional code of conduct. However, we are not allowed to state or infer to the general public that anyone outside such an organisation is ineligible or unsuitable to practise in a given field; only HPC has the power to do that, and only once the profession has become state registered.
