The member directory

Who holds a HICS designation, and what they hold.

The directory publishes every member's current standing: their designation, their entry qualification, their recorded fields of practice, any advanced practice, their supervision status and whether they are in good standing. A client, an employer or a referring professional can confirm here what a named person holds. Once the directory is open, a person not listed as current is not a current member.

The directory is not yet open.

HICS will list its members here once the Board has approved the directory's publication. Until then, nobody is listed. To confirm whether someone is a HICS member, please contact HICS. The two listings below are illustrative examples of how a member will appear. They are not real members.

A designation ceases to be usable the moment membership lapses, is suspended, is downgraded or is revoked, not at the end of a notice period. Once the directory is open, it is the authoritative record: a person not listed as current is not a current member.
