The new data hub, provides insight into the 15 health and care professions that the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) regulates.
The dashboards include:
- Register over time
- Register over time by characteristic, such as age or gender.
- Register over time by characteristic and location
- Diversity data
The HCPC was keen to stress that the dashboards complement existing data published by the HCPC on fitness to practise, education and continuing professional development, which is also being made available through the hub.
It said:
“Through sharing our data across the 15 different professions, we will work with the wider health and care sector to spot trends and to better understand the workforce across the UK, helping to support delivery of care, at both a local and national level.”
Key insights include:
- Community and preventative care has been boosted with significantly more physiotherapists, dietitians, hearing aid dispensers, and speech and language therapists, having joined the HCPC register since 2020.
- There are now 38% more radiographers since 2020, helping to bolster preventative care, such as screening via mammograms.
- Only Chiropodists and Podiatrists have seen a reduction in numbers (down by nearly 9%) over the last 5 years, caused largely by an ageing workforce and common misperceptions of the profession.
- Since 2019, the number of registered health and care professionals in England and Wales, grew by 20%, compared with 14% in Northern Ireland and 13% in Scotland.
