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.

In this article, we provide three examples from real-life employers of HCPC registrants who describe how they are supporting their team with embedding the updated standards of proficiency.
