Access to Clinical Will Template

Description

What is a Clinical Will?

A clinical will is an arrangement is in place to manage closure of their clinical practice in the event of their serious illness, death, suspension, dismissal or other sudden clinical incapacity. Professional bodies are increasingly insisting on clinical wills being in place for all therapists as a condition of accreditation.

What are the new BABCP Requirements on Clinical Wills and When do they start?

As of 1 September 2023, all BABCP Accredited and Registered members will be required to ensure that an arrangement is in place to manage closure of their clinical practice in the event of their serious illness, death, suspension, dismissal or other sudden clinical incapacity. This means that either your employer will need to have appropriate arrangements and contingency plans in place, or that you have a formal Clinical Will document that provides instructions to an executor in the event that you are no longer able to continue practicing.
