1 Share of the advanced physiotherapist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the specialist chiropractor profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 48 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A advanced physiotherapist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a specialist chiropractor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held triage clients assisting and caring
already held measure effectiveness of the service provided information skills
already held prescribe healthcare products assisting and caring
already held advocate health communication, collaboration and creativity
already held develop plans related to client discharge management skills

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
