The difference between Membership and Registration
We are often asked about what is the difference between Membership and Registration. When applying for Membership you are joining your professional body. When applying for Registration you are putting forward your professional portfolio to be assessed by the Hospital Play Specialist Registration Council.
The table below outlines the differences and the benefits of both options. Further details can be found under the relevant section of the menu at the top of the page.
