The Fitness to practise annual report 2016 and accompanying key information document are now published. These highlight our work in considering allegations about the fitness to practise of our registrants between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2016.
Whilst our Register increased in 2015–16 by 3.3 per cent, the number of new fitness to practise concerns we received decreased by 1.98 per cent. The proportion of the Register affected still remains low, with only 0.62 per cent of registrants being subject to a new concern.
The Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) has today published its continuing professional development (CPD) audit report for the period 2013-2015.
The report shows that in this period 8,164 registrants, across all 16 professions regulated by the HCPC, were randomly selected to submit CPD profiles. Nearly 81% of these met the CPD standards with most accepted after their first assessment.
As with previous audits, the majority of registrants invited to submit a profile engaged with the CPD process. A small minority sought voluntary deregistration (4.8%) or did not renew (3.2%). Some registrants deferred their audit (10.7%) with the most common reasons being on maternity leave or health issues.
