How do I complete my Registration renewal for 2023 -2024?
I have Clinical Physiology Registration with both RCCP and AHCS, what should I do?
In June 2021 the business of the Registration Council for Clinical Physiologists (RCCP) was transferred to the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS). Registration with both the AHCS and RCCP is of equal status and during the next 12 months, the RCCP and AHCS Clinical Physiologist Practitioner register will be aligned.
The work to unify the register will be completed by October 2023 but from the 28th of March 2022, new applications for Clinical Physiology Practitioner registration will only be accepted through the RCCP (www.rccp.co.uk)portal.
When it is due, current registrants should continue to renew their registration as usual with either the RCCP or the AHCS. However, those practitioners registered with both organisations are asked to renew only with the AHCS. To de-register with the RCCP, complete your annual renewal form, selecting the "I do not wish to renew option". Please also cancel your direct debit.
We will provide updates to all registrants in the coming months but if you have any immediate questions about your registration, please email registration@ahcs.ac.uk.
How do I reset my password?
If you have not logged into the new RCCP online system before, you will be asked to reset your password before you can continue. If you have forgotten your password, please use the "forgot password" link on the login page to reset.
How Much is the renewal fee?
The annual renewal fee is £45.00
When does the payment get taken?
The direct debit payment will be taken on or around 20th April.
My bank account details have changed and I need to amend my direct debit, what do I do?
You can update your direct debit information when you complete your renewal. Alternatively, if you have already provided your details and do not have the option to amend, please email rccpadmin@ahcs.ac.uk to request for the active mandate to be cancelled. This will then allow you to create a new mandate.
I updated my career details in the renewal form but my job title has not changed in my portal contact details. What should I do?
