HPC commended in Performance Review report

The Health Professions Council (HPC) has been commended in a report published today by the Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence (CHRE) for being an effective and publicly accountable regulator.

The annual Performance Review undertaken for all of the nine UK regulators highlighted that the HPC is a well organised regulator that is clearly committed to constantly improving efficiency and performance.

The report praised the HPC for actively ensuring that the public and employers are aware of the importance of checking a professional’s registration. It also emphasised the HPC’s good practice in the development of a skills audit and appraisal of Council members as well as the quality of its management information and data collection.

Anna van der Gaag, President for the HPC, commented:
“We are pleased with the outcome of the annual Performance Review and particularly for being recognised as an efficient and robust regulator. We are committed to continuously improving our services to ensure the protection of the public.”

As well as the positive feedback, the report has also highlighted three development areas for the HPC ahead of next years performance review. These relate to:

* systems for the assessment, appraisal and reappointment of fitness to practise panel members;
* updating the Register so that conditions of practise are attached to individual registrants’ entries; and
* processes for ensuring that patients’ views are taken account of in assessments of educational providers.

Anna van der Gaag, added:
“The HPC will work towards implementing the reports recommendations”

How can the report be valid if they haven't asked the HPC registrants what they all think? After all we are the ones paying for this so called 'commendable' service. Leaves a very nasty taste in the mouth!

While I do not want to be the one that defends the HPC, but could it be that they did not ask us as we are not the "customer", in that they do not provide services to us and are therefore not accountable to us?

William,
As members of the public registrants are all potential customers. I am sure that many of us have had to use the services of other podiatrists, physiotherapists and different HPC registrants. This puts us in the position of patient, provider and also referrer. Surely the opinions of those with this unique qualification are more than valid, they are essential.
