This report is the first in a series on the regulation of the heath professions registered with the HPC.

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.

Case study: A biomedical scientist’s employer raised concerns following an incident where the registrant failed to follow procedure. When processing samples, the registrant failed to prevent contamination, which led to inaccurate results.

The HCPC has published its Corporate Plan 2025-26, setting out how we will continue to make progress on each of our six strategic priorities over the next year.

Brendon Edmonds, Head of Regulatory Development and Performance, breaks down the recent improvements to our international application process.

The COVID-19 Temporary Register will close on the 31 March 2024.

If a concern is raised or referral is made about a HCPC-registered professional, our fitness to practice investigations process will begin. This flowchart summarises the steps.
