Healthcare Professional Alert Notices (HPANs) System
Posted on:
HPAN is a system where notices are issued by NHS Resolution to inform NHS bodies and others about health professionals who may pose a significant risk of harm to patients, staff or the public.
HPANs are usually used whilst the regulator is considering the concerns and provides an additional safeguard during the pre-employment checking process.
HPAN checks are a requirement of pre-employment checks for the NHS.
