HCPC Return to Practice

Tender description

HEE commissioned 2 suppliers, to deliver an innovative and flexible On-Line RtP Programme to support HEE Health & Care Professions Council returners to meet the minimum requirements of the HCPC RtP standards. Coventry University were one of the successful bidders. As part of the initial commission, Coventry was required to recruit and support 50 returners to meet the minimum criteria to return to the HCPC register. They have now reached this threshold and are seeking additional funding to support future returners. Coventry has 15 returners now placed on hold with further enquires in the system therefore unable to recruit any further HEE returners to the programme. Future returners will need to self-fund at £1,500 for two modules. They anticipate being able to support an additional 50 HEE returners.
