| Professional Registration Policy |
| Written by Head of Workforce Intelligence |
|
This policy provides assurance for patients and the public that the staff treating them are providing safe, effective healthcare of the highest quality. The policy provides clear guidelines for staff and managers on checking and renewing professional registrations. It is the responsibility of all professionally registered staff to ensure that their registration is valid. All professionally qualified clinical staff must, by law, register with the appropriate regulatory body (see appendix 1). In order to ensure all professional clinical staff are appropriately registered to undertake the posts to which they have been appointed, individuals will be required to provide evidence of their registration at interview, prior to commencement of employment and during their employment with the Trust. In order to protect patients, no professional member of staff will be allowed to work in a professional capacity unless fully qualified and registered with the appropriate regulatory body. Professional appointments will be made subject to registration with the appropriate body. |
