The HCPC is delighted to announce the appointment of four new Council Members and two new Council Apprentices to its Council.
The appointments received approval from the Privy Council, as per the HCPC’s processes for new Council members.
We are especially pleased to confirm the appointment of Dr Pameleta Ricketts. Pam was one of the HCPC's first HCPC Council Apprentices in 2021, and since then has worked closely with us on many aspects of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and registrant experience.
We extend our congratulations to them all.
