Academy Practitioner Register now open for online applications
The Academy for Healthcare Science Register is now open for online applications from Healthcare Science Practitioners. You can also use the Academy website to search the Register.
Registration of professionals is important for the protection of patients and is increasingly viewed as essential by employers, providers, commissioners and patients themselves. By maintaining Registration, an individual demonstrates that they are committed to upholding high professional standards and to keeping their knowledge, skills and experience up-to-date through ongoing professional development.
The Academy has published the Standards of Proficiency and Standards of CPD for its register of Healthcare Science Practitioners, which had been revised following consultation. Alongside the Standards, the Academy has also published the rules and procedures that set out the day to day operation of the register and its response to the consultation on these rules.
PTP Equivalence process opens with candidates asked to complete an Expression of Interest
The AHCS is inviting healthcare scientists who want to go through the PTP equivalence process to complete an Expression of Interest, giving details of their scientific specialism and how quickly they would want to go forward with their equivalence application. Once this information has been collated, groups of candidates will be brought together and invited to develop and submit their Equivalence portfolio in a phased way.
