Health and care professional council – the importance of registration
If an individual wants to practice in any of the 16 health and care professions that are regulated by the Health and Care Professional Council (HCPC), then it is required by law to be registered by this organisation.
It is extremely important to check for a HCPC registration when you are using the services of a health or care professional.
There is a wide range of high standards that individuals must adhere to in order to maintain this certification. Your health is at the forefront of everything we do at AJ Case Management, which is why we promote the importance of a HCPC registration.
In this article we will cover what exactly is required for this certification, how it is achieved and maintained and how we make it a part of everyday life at AJ Case Management.
What is a HCPC registration?
A HCPC is a certification that requires a high level of many different professional standards, some of which include:
• Relevant qualifications and training
• Experience and detailed knowledge
• A high level of professionalism
• Ethical practice guidelines
A HCPC certification is valid for two years, after which the individual will be thoroughly reviewed again, and the license can be renewed.
This allows us to show our consistent high level of quality to our clients.
