Transition Pathway into the Hospital Play Specialist role

The Hospital Play Specialist Registration Council (HPSRC) document ‘Transition Pathway into the Hospital Play Specialist Role’ provides information on hospital play specialist (HPS) competencies, knowledge and skills that are required in the HPS role. The HPSRC document ‘Looking Back to Move Forward- professional accountability’ is a required reading for HPS Registration and provides a brief background to the development of professional accountability within the HPS profession.

Hospital Play Specialist Registration (NZHPSReg) Criteria The new transition pathway into the hospital play specialist role (version August 2023) now replaces the past Hospital Play Specialists Association of Aotearoa New Zealand (HPSAANZ) transition seminars within the HPS Registration programme. The transition pathway mandatory requirements of readings and professional development reflect the HPSAANZ professional competencies.

Hospital Play specialists who hold evidence of attendance at all six of the past HPSAANZ transition seminars can submit this evidence as part of an initial application for professional HPS Registration until the 5 th November 2024 intake of HPS Registration applications. The Registration Handbook (version August 2023) now includes the mandatory requirements from the transition pathway within Appendix G.
