In order to practise in the UK, healthcare, social workers and paramedics need to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

To do so, you need to fill in the HCPC registration form. Below we have included some helpful guidelines to completing this form.

HCPC Application Form

If you have been registered with HCPC or GSCC, please contact your consultant and would be able to advise you which one is the right application form that you have to complete.
