A guide to renewing your registration with the Health Professions Council

The Health Professions Council (HPC) is a UK-wide regulator created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001 with a specific remit to protect the public. To do this, we set standards, approve courses which lead to registration, keep a register of professionals who meet the standards and take action against registered professionals who fall below the standards.

As you may already know, paramedics need to renew their registration with the HPC every 2 years to remain on the HPC register and continue to practice using the protected title ‘paramedic’. Registration shows that you meet the HPC's standards for paramedics and demonstrates to the public that you are ft to practice. Here is some information about renewing your registration with the HPC.

In early June 2011, we will send a registration renewal form to all paramedics on the register. All sections of this form needs to be filled in, signed and returned to the HPC with the renewal payment.
