Allied Health Professionals must stay updated on HCPC and NHS compliance changes in 2025. These updates impact registration, workplace standards and professional requirements.
Key HCPC Compliance Changes
Stricter CPD Requirements
HCPC will introduce more rigorous CPD verification, including detailed portfolios and increased random audits. Stay proactive in recording CPD activities and updating your portfolio.
Digital HCPC Registration and Renewal
A fully digital renewal process will automate DBS checks, CPD logs and employment history. Ensure all documentation is current and accessible online.
Updated Ethical and Conduct Guidelines
New guidelines focus on patient confidentiality, mental health in the workplace and revised social media rules. Review these changes, especially if working in telehealth.
NHS Compliance Updates
New Workforce Standards
To address staff shortages, new regulations include minimum staffing levels, revised locum pay rates and stricter working hour regulations. These changes may affect shift availability and pay structures.
Mandatory Digital Health Training
AHPs must complete training in electronic patient records, cybersecurity and telemedicine. Digital health skills will enhance employability.
Stronger Infection Control Protocols
Enhanced PPE requirements, increased hand hygiene monitoring and mandatory infection control training will be enforced. Regular compliance is essential.
