We're delighted to announce that Christine Elliott has been reappointed as HCPC Chair for her second four-year term starting 28 February 2023.

Our priority is ensuring that registrants have access to advice and support, so that they can get the help they need and ensure they are able to continue to practise safely, without fear of the impact on their registration. To support this, we have produced online materials aimed at registrants and updated our guidance on health and character to include more illustrative case studies.

We will be asking you to ask you to complete an equality monitoring form to help us make sure our services are accessible to everyone

You’ll be asked to sign a declaration regarding background checks to enable us to check that they are genuine with the organisations or individuals who provided them

Case study: Munira is a physiotherapist working in private practice. She has treated her service user Russel for the last three months after he was involved in a fall at home.

There are a small number of circumstances where you might need to pass on information without consent, or when you have asked for consent but the service user has refused it
