How we oversee the Health and Care Professions Council
We review the performance of the Health and Care Professions Council each year. We give our report to Parliament and publish our report on our website. We also review every decision made by the regulator's final fitness to practise panels. We include recent cases on this page. See more cases.

Share your experience of the HCPC
We want to hear from you about your experiences of the HCPC. We use the feedback we receive to make our performance reviews the best we can. You can tell us about your experience of a regulator through our share your experience page.
While we welcome feedback, we are unable to investigate complaints about regulators. We encourage anyone unhappy with its decisions to complain directly to the regulator.
