The Health Practice Associates Council is the United Kingdom’s regulatory body for pre-hospital urgent and emergency clinical responders in non-statutory grades. As a non-profit organisation, we work with key stakeholders across the UK and seek the registration of clinicians who meet our standards in skills, training, conduct, and health to uphold public safety.


CQC, Disclosure & Barring Service, National Police Chief's Council, NHS Safeguarding, and the Independent Ambulance Association recognises the Health Practice Associates register in supporting the safe recruitment of non-paramedic ambulance clinicians.

We revalidate all DBS certificates on a daily basis, ensuring we hold the most up to date Enhanced DBS information on all our registrants. Registrants can readily prove that their DBS has been revalidated by scanning their ID cards. HPAC also shares details of relevant referrals that we receive with the DBS. Details of our investigations, including registrant compliance with the fitness to practice process and outcomes, provide valuable insight for the Barring Service when assessing individuals.
