The HPClaunches consultation on Standards of Education and Training Guidance
In 2004 the HPC published their Standards of Education and Training, and began operating their new programme approvals process. The HPC committed then to publish more information about our standards, and how education providers could show us that they meet these standards.
A guidance document was put together with the intention that it would be useful to education providers who wish to get a programme approved or re-approved by the HPC.
Rachel Tripp, policy manager at the Health Professions Council said, “In putting together this document, we have been very fortunate to benefit from the expertise of the professional bodies. We are very grateful for their help in drafting, and for their comments and input. We would now like to make this document public, in order to ask all interested parties for their comments. We would like to invite anyone with an interest in our role, and particularly in programme approvals, to respond to this consultation.”
The consultation on the Standards of Education and Training Guidance ran until the 28 April 2006. A summary of the responses received and the decisions taken as a result will be published on the HPC website.
