Welcome

The Voluntary Register of Clinical Technologists (VRCT) was founded in August 2000 with the primary task of taking forward the case for regulating the Clinical Technologist profession. In October 2004 the Health Professions Council (HPC) agreed that the Clinical Technologist profession should be regulated.

However, before this can happen, agreement needs to be reached between the Department of Health and the VRCT on a number of issues. These include the commissioning of education and training programmes, a public consultation, and, the implementation of legislation to ensure that regulation can take place. These are not expected to be completed until 2009. Until this time the VRCT will be the sole regulator of the profession.
