Transition Pathway into Hospital Play Specialist role
The Hospital Play Specialist Registration Council (HPSRC) facilitated a review of the Hospital Play Specialist Association of Aotearoa New Zealand (HPSAANZ) transition workshops in 2021. The review considered how the HPSAANZ transition workshops linked into HPS Services orientation and induction programmes which are now a requirement for supporting those newly employed into allied health professionals roles within Te Whatu Ora New Zealand Health. The review also considered the role of the transition workshops as a requirement for Full HPS Registration.
