Messages to our registrants

Messages to our registrants from our Council and Chief Executive during the Coronavirus pandemic

Are you and your team ready for the updated standards of proficiency?

As the updated standards of proficiency come into effect on 1 September 2023, you might be wondering what you need to do as a manager or employer of HCPC registrants. In this article we share ideas, tips and strategies to help you and your team prepare to embed the updated standards into everyday practice.

Who we are

The Council is supported by a network of specialist teams, advisory committees and partners

Professional Liaison Service

The HCPC Professional Liaison Service was established in 2020 following a decision to invest in more upstream regulation. Upstream regulation describes an approach to regulation that is focussed on prevention, partnership and support.

Registration

For queries relating to joining and leaving the Register, CPD, renewals and your online account

Reporting concerns

Case study on reporting concerns about the safety or wellbeing of service users, carers or others

Flexibility in assessment

About our assessment approach and the factors we consider. 

Ensuring your CPD is effective and relevant

Your CPD activities should be beneficial to you and enhance the service you provide

Supporting former registrants who worked as part of the COVID-19 recovery

For those who practised as part of the COVID-19 recovery, our returning to practice processes will take into account any impact this may have had on the wider healthcare workforce.

Remote supervision

Case study: Raff is a hearing aid dispenser working in independent practice. He has just started running his own business as a sole practitioner in a remote location in the Scottish Highlands.

What happens if I don't renew

Steps you can take if you haven't renewed your registration in time or want to leave the Register

Managing existing health conditions and disabilities in the workplace

We think that it’s important to further clarify within the standards that registrants do not need to stop practising simply because they have a physical or mental health condition.

CPD Assessors

CPD Assessors are current HCPC registrants who assess registrant CPD profiles against the HCPC’s standards

Returning to practice after the pandemic - why we're reinstating a 12-month updating period

As our 12-month updating period comes into effect once more, Policy Manager Madeleine Connor looks back on the COVID-19 pandemic and circumstances that temporarily extended it.
