The multiple choice questions are designed to assess a candidate's ability to use their knowledge of physiotherapy practice to respond to questions about specific patient scenarios. This is the second part of the APC Assessment Process to qualify for registration to practise.

Details of the potential content of the written assessment for 2010 sessions are available here.
