All registered Health Play Specialists are required to renew their registration annually and to submit a CPD Profile for audit every 3 years, if they wish to remain listed on the public register. This robust re-registration process is something we are very proud of and compares favourably with the rigorous revalidation processes of other health professions.
The Registration Standards Committee would like to thank and celebrate the 634 Health Play Specialists who renewed their professional registration in 2024. We are very proud to be able to claim that we have exceeded a 90% re-registration rate for the past 3 years. Thank you.
Registrants are reminded to inform their line management and HR Teams of their re-registration and next renewal date of 31 March 2025. This reinforces the importance we attach to registration as we move towards the next stage in the evolution of the Health Play profession in the UK.
The Public Register of Health Play Specialists has grown year-on-year and now numbers 652, including the addition of 7 new registrants since January and the return of 11 lapsed practitioners. We look forward to boosting this number with 52 HPS students expected to graduate this year.
We are always willing to work with lapsed registrants and those returning to practice, to facilitate their reinstatement on the register.
