The Register of Clinical Technologists (the RCT) – formerly the Voluntary Register of Clinical Technologists – was formed in 2000 with the aim of protecting the public by advocating statutory, professional regulation for Clinical Technologists.
The Register of Clinical Technologists (the RCT) – formerly the Voluntary Register of Clinical Technologists – was formed in 2000 with the aim of protecting the public by advocating statutory, professional regulation for Clinical Technologists.
The register now holds the details of over 2,200 healthcare professionals who have achieved the standards set out by the RCT. They abide by a regularly-reviewed Code of Professional Conduct and take part in continuing professional development (CPD) to maintain their professional status for the protection of the public at all times. You can download our information leaflet for patients and the public here: Information for patients and the public.
We register technologists working in nuclear medicine, radiotherapy physics, radiation physics, medical engineering, radiation engineering, rehabilitation engineering, renal technology and sonography.
The RCT register has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) under its Accredited Registers programme. In order to obtain and maintain accreditation an organisation must show they have met the PSA’s specific, demanding standards relating to governance, standards for registrants (including education and training) and management of the register. Re-accreditation occurs each year provided organisations can demonstrate they are still meeting the PSA standards.
You can now check the PSA register for a particular healthcare professional via: www.checkapractitioner.com.
As an accredited register we are part of the Accredited Registers’ Collaborative and have signed up to the Information Sharing Protocol in respect of registrants removed from our register due to disciplinary (Fitness to Practise) procedures.
As one of the three professional bodies responsible for the administration of the RCT, the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) has included data relating to RCT applicants and RCT registrants in its own Privacy Policy which can be viewed here: Privacy Policy.
