The duty of candour is important for anyone working in health and care, but what does it mean in practice?

Our data hub provides a valuable insight into the 15 health and care professions that we regulate, including interactive dashboards.

We get many questions about record keeping from registrants. This page runs through the most common questions and signposts to other sources of advice

Each year, we run a competition for students who, at the time of entry, are enrolled on an HCPC-approved pre-registration programme.

We recognise that many HCPC registrants are employed or work outside the NHS structures, where preceptorship is less well known and may be more difficult to access.

You need to make informed and reasonable decisions about your own practice to make sure that you always respect and protect the confidentiality of service users

Our standards form the foundation for how we regulate, explaining what we expect of our registrants and education and training programmes. 

There are a wide range of different partner roles that provide the expertise we need for our decision making processes.

Our return to practice requirements are flexible, minimum requirements. They aim to protect the public by making sure you have up-to-date knowledge and skills.

We use a risk model which allows us to be consistent in the application of our standards and processes.

The new model aims to deliver proportionate and flexible regulatory action through a more intelligent use of data and a risked based approach to education programme assurance

Aim: We regulate, take and communicate decisions which are informed by a deep understanding of the environment within which our registrants, employers and education providers operate
