BSHAA Practice Manual for the use, supervision, training and approval of Hearing Care Assistants 2013
In line with other professions, the contribution of a workforce to support registered practitioners has been discussed within BSHAA for a number of years. Building on work done to establish an approved HCA role, the approved training route to qualification and a list of those who successfully complete the training, the Society has, in this document, drawn together a number of initiatives to provide the profession with guidance on introducing, training and supporting HCAs in practice. For those companies and small independent practitioners who have been considering how a HCA could enhance their practice, this guidance provides clarity of tasks and activities which may be assigned along the client pathway.
