How will the Health Professions Council deal with overseas applicants?
If you are a psychologist qualified overseas and already practising in this country, and on the Society’s Register of Chartered Psychologists with a practising certificate and one of the seven protected adjectival titles, you will have been transferred automatically to the Health Professions Council (HPC) register when it opened on 1 July 2009. If you move to the UK on or after 1 July 2009 and wish to offer services to the public, you will need to apply to the Health Professions Council (HPC), which will deal with your application either under the terms of the relevant EU directive or through its international applicants route.
