The HCPC has launched a consultation on its proposed new standards of conduct, performance and ethics for the 15 professions it regulates, including radiography.
To support healthcare professionals with the changes, the HCPC will be releasing information, videos and case studies, as well as online events, that will help you learn about the updates and prepare for implementation.
The ten standards are integral to ensuring high quality professional practice and set out how the HCPC expects registrants to behave.
The updated standards will be published in September 2023, after consultation with the professions. A year-long implementation period will then follow and bring the standards into effect in September 2024. The consultation will close at 23:59pm on Friday 16 June 2023.
The proposed revisions fall under five key themes of equality diversity and inclusion, communication with colleagues, service users and carers, duty of candour, upskilling and training responsibilities, and managing existing health conditions and disabilities in the workplace. An additional theme of sustainability in health and care will also be discussed.
