Statement on physiotherapist renewals from Andrew Smith, Executive Director of Regulation

Following our consultation with registrants, professional bodies, trade unions, and the public last year, the legislation to implement our latest proposed fee increase has now been approved in both the UK and Scottish Parliaments.

During the festive period this year we’ll be closing temporarily, beginning at 12 noon on 24 December 2025. We will reopen on 2 January 2026 as normal.

Your concerns, arguments, and views about the impact of HCPC’s proposed fee rise have prompted us to re-think our approach.

We want to get you back on the Register as soon as possible. Please follow these steps to make sure you've reapplied correctly. 

Offices will be closed on Friday 7 November 2025 for all-staff training. Our telephone and email services will not be available.

During this time our phone lines, email inboxes and social media will not be actively monitored.

Offices will be closed on Friday 19 July 2024 for all-staff training. Our telephone and email services will not be available.

Offices will be closed on Friday 7 July 2023 for all-staff training. Our telephone and email services will not be available.

The pandemic required us to quickly adapt how we operated as a regulator. We intend to build on this agility to ensure we deliver effective public protection through lean and intelligent regulation.

From 29 January 2025, new English language proficiency requirements for new international applicants seeking to join the Register will come into effect.
