4. A note from aHealth Psychologist Colleague
You may be aware that the HPC is refusing to put titles ('Ms', 'Dr' etc - especially 'Dr' apparently) on our practicing certificates from them. I'll be writing a short letter saying "Dear HPC, I'm writing to formally request that you use our correct titles on our registration certificates". I am happy to add any signatories - I've got heading for 400 so far in a couple of days if you want to be added, please send an email to me at natty@triskel.org.uk .You don't have to be a 'Dr' to sign - you may feel there's a point of principle to be made.
