Stop charging NHS workers to pay for registration renewel

Closed 13 signatures

What the petition asks

I want action because NHS workers shouldn’t have to pay to go to work. They work long hours with stretched resources, often their is not enough staff with little opportunity for breaks. Both my parents work for the NHS, with my mother having been part of the service for more than 25 years.

Renewing registration can cost practitioners in the NMC £120 per year and practitoners in the hcpc costs £180 for two years registration. They pay the fee despite wage rises being frozen for two years from 2011, and increases capped at 1% until this year. However, despite the proposed pay increases this won’t cover the registration fee and is minimal in comparison to inflation.
