Recognition

“Over 80% of respondents did not believe that the

profession or the work of HCA professionals was fully

recognised by the industry”

Professional status

80% of respondents thought that

certification of HCA specialists would be a

positive thing

“Over two-thirds of respondents said they

found it difficult to recruit and retain HCA

staff”

Working in HCA is not perceived as a career in itself, more “a step on the management

ladder”

There is a certainty that HCA is important to the integrity

of the business it serves
