International

If you would like to register with the Health Professions Council and your experience and/or training were gained abroad, you can find information about how to apply here

Verifying your identity and qualifications

All applicants applying for registration via the international route will be subject to verification of their identity, qualifications and employment.

This may involve us contacting regulatory authorities, professional bodies, education providers and past employers in order for them to verify the information you have provided as part of your application. We may also ask an outside agency to conduct these checks on our behalf.

We will endeavour to complete an initial assessment of your application within 16 weeks of receipt. However, if further checks are needed or we do not receive the information we require, this may take longer. We will contact you if we require any additional information from you.

Please note that we cannot guarantee the outcome of an application and applicants are advised not to make travel or other arrangements which (e.g. starting a job) depend upon you being registered by the HPC

Applicants who make travel, work or other arrangements before knowing the outcome of their application do so at their own risk
