Our website will be undergoing essential maintenance on Wednesday 18 March, between 2–3am (GMT). A short downtime of 5 to 10 minutes is expected between this time while we complete the work. We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience whilst we carry out the work.
Welcome to the 2003/2004 Fitness to Practise Annual Report of the Health Professions Council (HPC). The primary aim of the HPC is to protect the public. We achieve this by keeping a register of practitioners from the twelve health professions we regulate and by setting Standards of Proficiency, Conduct, Performance and Ethics. We currently regulate approximately 145,000 registrants and this number is set to increase as new professions are included on the Register.
