The HCPC is proposing changes to ensure fair English proficiency evaluations for international applicants.

The formal consultation will run until Friday 19 January 2024. NHS Employers will be submitting a response and NHS organisations are welcome to contribute to this by emailing us, or alternatively are encouraged to submit individual responses.

The HCPC is also hosting a series of webinars between November and January to discuss the proposed revisions.
