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.

I GOT RID OF HERPES WITHIN 2 WEEKS Am from the north Carolina. I caught genital herpes from my ex boyfriend who never had any symptoms of herpes . I had it for 4 years and it has literally affected my life before I got cured. People think herpes is really a minor skin irritation, herpes has long term effects on health. The stigma attached to this virus by ignorant people is ridiculous. Most people have herpes in one form or another but they might not be aware of it. I would like to advise people on how I got rid of my herpes by using Dr Sikies medicine. I saw a comment posted by a woman from Ireland on the internet that she got rid of her herpes with the help of Doctor Sikies and I was so happy when I saw that post. I quickly contacted doctor sikies regarding a cure for herpes. I explained things to him and he assured me not to worry that he will cure me. I ordered his medicine which was sent to me via DHL. i got the herbal medicine and i used it as i was told for the period of 2 weeks which is twice a day ( morning and at night before going to bed) .after 2 weeks, i found out that the herpes was no more and this was also confirmed by my doctor. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cure, kindly contact Doctor sikies WhatsApp +2348163430143 / Email [email protected] Dr Sikies can also cure HIV, stroke, ulcer, depression, autism, cancer, diabetes etc. Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/doctorsikiesherbs Place your order on this website click::: https://drsikiesherbalcuremedicine.weebly.com/

FAST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET CURED FROM HERPES VIRUS Hello! I’m very excited to share what worked for me to everyone. I’m completely cured from my HSV1&2 with the use of natural medicine. I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir and some other products/supplements and it hasn’t helped ever since I was diagnosed. I got outbreaks frequently and was completely devastated and I went online for a possible cure and how to get rid of Herpes. On a fateful day after taking my bath, I took my phone and was going through some research, I bumped into a testimonial of a Herbs doctor { Dr Awase } who cures diverse diseases/viruses with Herbal medication. I was hopeful but also doubted the claim. But after a while I thought “what do I have to lose?” so I decided to reach out. He prepared a cure using roots and herbs which I steadily took for 14days as prescribed by him. I am quite glad I decided to reach out because I am totally cured from Herpes after a medical checkup was done by my Dr. So I’ve decided to make a quick testimony for anyone out there who is probably suffering from an illness they can’t handle to reach out to Dr Awase. He specializes in curing lots of illnesses such as HIV, ENDOMETRIOSIS, PCOS, OVARIAN CYST, INFERTILITY, HEPATITIS A,B,C and lots more. I’m here to let you all know that you can also be cured just like me and you don’t have to live with any sort of illness for the rest of your life.
