All registered Health Play Specialists are required to renew their registration with SoHPS by 31st March every year. The re-registration window opens on 5th January when the Annual Re-registration Form appears on the registrant’s User Page. This form asks the registrant to declare the following:

  • I confirm that I have read SoHPS Professional Standards and agree to comply with these in my HPS practice.
  • I have maintained a record of my Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
  • I have updated my CPD Profile with evidence of my CPD during the past year and reviewed this with my line manager.
  • I confirm that my current health and character are sufficient to enable me to practice safely and effectively.
  • Click here to learn more about the health clause

    SoHPS is committed to equal opportunity practice. The HPS wishing to re-register needs to be able to confirm that they are currently in a state of health which allows them to carry-out the role safely and effectively, but this does not imply the absence of any disability or health condition. You have a responsibility to limit your work if you believe your physical, mental or emotional health is such that your judgement might be affected.

    Please contact the Registration Coordinator if you have any uncertainty in this regard.

  • I have a current, valid DBS Certificate/Enhanced Disclosure and confirm that this mentions no issues which might be a cause for concern.
  • I have updated my personal and employment details on my User Page.
  • I have paid the annual re-registration fee of £36.00

Failure to submit the Annual Re-registration Form and to pay the annual fee will result in removal from the public register of Health Play Specialists.
