Registration renewal

The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registration renewal period for practitioner psychologists opens on Wednesday 1 March 2017 and closes on Wednesday 31 May 2017. The HCPC will write to all practitioner psychologists at the beginning of March with information on how to renew.

To renew, registrants must complete a professional declaration and pay a renewal fee no later than midnight on 31 May to avoid being removed from the Register. The easiest and quickest way to renew is online via www.hcpc-uk.org/renew

A random sample of 2.5 per cent of the profession will also be selected to submit a continuing professional development (CPD) profile during this period. Those selected for audit will receive a separate letter after the renewal notices are sent out. More information, including sample profiles, activity types and video guides, is available at www.hcpc-uk.org/registrants/cpd

The fee is tax deductible, which means that registrants paying the standard 20 per cent tax rate can reclaim a 20 per cent refund from HMRC.

Dushyan Ashton, HCPC Registration Manager, commented:

“Our online system provides a quick and easy way to renew, and we want to encourage registrants to use this resource. We would advise all practitioner psychologists who wish to remain on the Register to renew as early as possible to ensure that you can continue to practice without disruption.”

Registrants can email registration@hcpc-uk.org with any queries on renewal or the CPD audit process Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm.

The HCPC keeps a register for 16 different health and care professions and only registers people who meet the standards it sets for their training, professional skills, behaviour and health. The HCPC will take action against professionals who do not meet these standards or who use a protected title illegally.
