The Health Professionals Service Program (HPSP) is designed to protect the public, as well as to help licensed health care professionals practice safely. Conditions that may be eligible include physical health conditions, mental health conditions, and substance use disorders or combinations thereof.
What do you, as a psychologist need to know? If you are concerned about a colleague who is not acting like themselves, is struggling either suddenly or having an episodic set of performance difficulties at work with technical items, impaired clinical decision making, or poor impulse control, you may be interested in engaging with the HPSP. These performance difficulties are of more concern especially paired with tardiness, erratic behaviors of other types, or perhaps charting, email or phone messages that are of great concern. You could fulfill your ethical obligation, if you decide you need to make a report, by reporting that professional to HPSP rather than to the licensing board of that professional. If said behavior is due to a health condition and HPSP has jurisdiction, this could allow the person to get evaluation, proper treatment for whatever condition or conditions are present, and the monitoring necessary to ensure safe practice. If HPSP has to turn the person or case over to the proper board, they surely will; however, it helps with proper triage of conditions to allow HPSP to provide this very important service.
Just as the public would not want a dentist, for example, to be practicing with a serious hand tremor which could impact where Novocaine or drilling occurred, specific licensed health care professions have some special needs and risks. We as the public expect to have professionals who are in reasonable health, or ones who are doing what they need to be doing to address the health concerns that may arise. Professionals such as nurses, pharmacists, and physicians have higher risk factors with certain medication access, in that as a job requirement many times they are in close contact with and utilizing such substances daily. Of course, everyone has access to alcohol, any street drugs, or the possibility of misuse of medication (that was prescribed for one person or condition but used for another or by another, higher dosages than directed, and so forth).
What happens? Well, you could check out the HPSP website which has sections for how to make a report, as well as information for quarterly reports for treatment professionals and for the work site monitor. People have individualized assessments by professionals in whichever field, and to retain a professional license may choose to be monitored by HPSP for some period of time to ensure safe practice. Boards may refer people to HPSP, people may be referred by others, or individuals may self-refer.

HOW I WAS CURED FROM HERPES VIRUS I am writing this testimonial with immense gratitude and a renewed sense of hope in my heart. For years, I battled with the physical and emotional torment caused by the herpes virus. It felt like an unending struggle, until I discovered a remarkable solution that changed my life forever. Like many others, I had tried countless remedies, medications in search of a cure. I had lost hope, resigned to the belief that herpes was something I would have to live with indefinitely. However, fate intervened and led me to a breakthrough that altered the course of my life. Upon stumbling on a revolutionary treatment option, my skepticism slowly transformed into a flicker of hope. The treatment was a natural remedy from Dr Awase [ HERBS ] Over time, as I followed the treatment diligently, I started noticing positive changes and I experienced a boost in my overall well-being. I am ecstatic to share that I am now herpes-free confirmed by my Dr after a test was done. The treatment I received was nothing short of miraculous and I couldn't be more grateful. I have regained my self-confidence and the burden that once weighed heavily upon me has been lifted. I was cured of my herpes virus through natural medication. If you, like me, have been struggling with herpes and searching for a way out, please know that hope exists. May my story inspire hope in the hearts of those who need it. He also specializes in getting rid of HPV, OVARIAN CYST, PCOS, HEPATITIS and a lot more. Contact on WhatsApp +2349074997110 Email:- dr.awaseherbalhome@gmail. com
