Professional Practice Committee

Professional Practice Committee

ROLE OF THE PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE COMMITTEE

The Professional Practice Committee (PPC) sets standards (as set out in the Code of Professional Practice Handbook) for professional practice and monitors their implementation by practitioners.

The PPC is charged by BANT Council with maintaining a clear focus on all aspects of professional practice, including essential linkages with BANT's other core objectives related to training, education and research.

The PPC has four main roles:

1) To investigate complaints against a BANT member by another BANT member

2) To investigate complaints from members of the public against members who are registered with CNHC and where the complaint falls outside the scope of CNHC (CNHC investigates complaints related to 'fitness to practise')

3) To investigate all complaints from members of the public against BANT members who are not registered with CNHC

4) To advise members, where there is uncertainty, on how to apply the Code

COMMITTEE STRUCTURE

Eight voluntary BANT Members reselected after 1-3 years

One member is a Student member of BANT and one is non-BANT Lay Member

Chairman is selected from the committee members, approved by the BANT Council and reports to the Council on all matters regarding professional practice

COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND RECORDS

The Committee meets quarterly with a quorum consisting of the Chair plus 4 committee members

The Committee keeps confidential written records of all discussions, meetings, and decisions. A summary of complaints and queries received is provided at the AGM
