Supporting professionals trained outside the UK

Employers and partners supporting international recruitment efforts must consider the current regulatory framework when assessing applicants’ suitability for a particular role in their organisation.

Employers should be aware of their responsibility to ensure individuals meet their requirements, including any specific requirements they have regarding communication in their workplace setting.

As is the case for any newly recruited person, tailored induction programmes and attention to preceptorship may be needed. Inductions help to ensure individuals can safely transition to practice in a UK context.

Examples of good practice

Joining the UK workforce webinars

We regularly deliver ‘Joining the UK workforce’ events designed for international registrants who have recently registered with the HCPC. These are designed to support the transition to UK practice, by considering some of the ethical issues that registrants may come across in practice or may have encountered already. New registrants receive invites to these directly.

The webinars are run by our Professional Liaison Service.
