What to reflect on to get the most out of our performance review process, and how to do so

New analysis of HCPC data suggests that, despite 14 of the 15 professions that we regulate growing in numbers, retention remains an issue.

The profile of education and training is changing, with a wider variety of pre-registration education and training programmes approved by HCPC. This includes a broader range of qualification levels, and a significant increase in the number of apprenticeship programmes in England.

With various initiatives across the four UK nations, we have seen (and expect to see further) increases in the total number of learners within professions, nations, and regions. We have noted an impact on practice-based learning, education provider resources, and innovations in delivery models due to these initiatives.

We are encouraging registered health and care professionals to keep up-to-date with all information and guidance concerning the recent outbreak of COVID-19.

This document is for health and care professionals who are not registered, and who need to apply for readmission to the Register

Information about the areas operating urgent support, and how you can contact us if your query falls into one of these.

If you are an HCPC registrant taking part in industrial action, the behaviours set out in our standards of conduct, performance and ethics still apply

We have seen diversification in learning, teaching and assessments, which are in part driven by the education sector's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have found many innovations in this area have been embedded into programmes on a permanent basis.

These standards set out, in general terms, how we expect our registrants to behave. We will use them if someone raises a concern about a registrant’s practice, and for decisions about the character of professionals who apply to our Register.

In 2018, we raised the level of qualification for paramedics’ registration. Previously paramedics needed to achieve ‘Equivalent to Certificate of Higher Education’ to become registered. Currently they need to achieve ’Bachelor degree with honours’.

Information about the process you need to complete if you are returning to practice after a break of more than two years

Two HCPC registrants share their reflections on the narrative around diversity and representation in healthcare, as well as their commitment to support and celebrate each other’s successes.

You need to take all reasonable steps to protect information about service users. By ‘reasonable steps’, we mean that you need to take sensible, practical measures to make sure that you keep the information safe.

This consultation sought to enable people living with aphasia and their carers to be meaningfully involved in evaluating the standards of conduct, performance and ethics set by HCPC and to provide feedback, based on their own experiences, which may inform changes to the standards.
