The regulatory regime will be conducted under a new umbrella regulator called The Allied Health Professionals Council and will be phased in over the next three years. the AHPC will take over from self-regulatory organisations. It will have powers of registration, supervision and discipline.
To become registered, practitioners will need to satisfy the AHPC as to their experience and qualifications.
Starting next year, in annual stages, groups will be added:
Group 1: occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech therapistsGroup 2: clinical psychologists, diagnostic radiographers and radiation therapists.Group 3: dieticians, audiologists, chiropodists, prosthetists and orthotists (providers of e.g. back or leg braces).
