Revisions to our Standards of Proficiency- what you need to do
The HCPC’s Standards of Proficiency set out the technical requirements and competencies – the proficiencies – that all registrants are required to be able to demonstrate on entry to their profession. All approved education programmes must ensure graduates can meet these standards for their profession. The revised sets of Standards of Proficiency must be delivered to all new cohorts starting from 1 September 2023.
Performance review requirements 2022-23 - what to expect
We emailed education providers due their performance review in 2022-23 and 2023-24 in early August. Providers who will undergo the process this year (2022-23) will have been given specific requirements and a key contact to work with at the HCPC.
How we collaborated with Health Education and Improvement Wales
Our quality assurance approach means we use data and intelligence to inform how we undertake assessments. A great example of this is some work we recently carried out with Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW).
Consultation on preceptorship principles
We have launched a consultation on our proposal to introduce guiding principles for preceptorship.
Why and how we revised our standards of proficiency
Following comprehensive review and public consultation, the revised sets of standards were approved by the Council in March 2022.
Promoting public health and preventing ill-health
We have introduced new standards about promoting public health and preventing ill-health. This is one theme within the key changes to the updated standards of proficiency for all professions.
Equality, diversity and inclusion
We have significantly expanded the role of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI), placing specific importance on making sure that practice is inclusive for all service users. This is one theme within the key changes to the updated standards of proficiency for all professions.
Registrants’ mental health
We have emphasised the importance of registrants looking after their own mental health and seeking help where necessary as a part of maintaining their fitness to practise. This is one theme within the key changes to the updated standards of proficiency for all professions.
Comparison tables
The changes between the previous standards and the updated standards are set out in these comparison tables.
