#myhcpcstandards: Leadership

In this webinar we will explore the role and importance of leadership at all levels of practice for HCPC registrants.

Standards of conduct, performance and ethics - Connect review

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.

New threshold for paramedic registration

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’.

Guidance on health and character

This document provides guidance on our processes when assessing the health and character of people who apply to, or who are on, our Register.

Keeping information safe

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.

Standards of conduct, performance and ethics

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.

Readmission

This section is for applicants who have previously been on the Register and would like to re-join it.

Section 5 – English language proficiency

People on the HCPC’s Register must be able to communicate effectively in English in order to meet our standards of proficiency

Professional liaison groups

A professional liaison group (or ‘PLG’) provides advice to the Council or committees on strategic issues. Either the Council, or a committee can decide to set up a PLG, to look at a specific issue and report back.
