Greetings!

UKBHC recognises that there have been significant delays in processing applications for registration since Summer 2023.  The Board accepts full responsibility for these delays and is working hard to address the issues that have led to this. 

We apologise unreservedly for the current situation.  We appreciate that applicants have been kept waiting far longer than they should have been.  The responsibility for this is entirely ours. 

Our Interim Registrar, Allison Dean, has worked through the several applications of which she has been aware.  In some cases, Allison has needed to ask you for further information or a sponsor’s or placement supervisor’s details.  Many thanks to those of you who have responded so promptly to those requests.  It has been greatly appreciated.  For those who have not responded to the request, Allison will be following up with you in the next couple of weeks.

However, there is a possibility that your application has been lost in the ether or is in someone else’s e-mail and Allison has not seen it or received it.  If you have not heard about your application and have paid your fees, would you please e-mail Allison directly at registrar@ukbhc.org.uk with the approximate month and year you submitted your application, in order that she can track it down and process same.

If you have any questions or further feedback about your application or any other aspect of the Board’s work, please feel free to direct them to registrar@ukbhc.org.uk.

With many thanks for your understanding and patience.

Allison
