What is the Health and Care Professions Council?
HCPC regulate health and care professionals in the UK and were set up to protect the public. They only register professionals who meet our standards for their training, professional skills and behaviour. We can take action against professionals who fall below these standards. We can also prosecute those who pretend to be registered. Health and care professionals must be registered so you can be sure:
• they are genuine
• they meet national standards; and
• you are protected

What does this mean for me?
This means that health and care professionals registered with us are genuine and meet national standards. This offers you protection if professionals fail to meet these standards. You can also check with us that a professional is registered.

The Health Care Professions Council (hcpc) is a statutory regulator of health care professionals, it was set up in 2002 and took over from The Council for professions supplementary to medicine (cpsm).

The council reports it’s main purpose is to protect the public, by maintaining standards of proficiency for the professions it regulates.

Registrants must complete an approved education and training programme, before they can register with the hpcp. Hcpc are a regulator, and we were set up to protect the public. To do this, we keep a Register of health and care professionals who meet our standards for their training, professional skills, behaviour and health.
