<p>All Healthcare Professionals carrying out assessments are medically qualified and
highly-trained practitioners in their own field and must have at least two years'
experience following registration. They are subject to a rigorous recruitment process
followed by a comprehensive training programme in disability assessment. The assessment
is not a medical assessment requiring the Healthcare Professional to diagnose a condition
and recommend treatment options. The focus is on ensuring Healthcare Professionals
are experts in disability analysis, drawing on evidence supplied by the claimant and
their GP or specialist clinical team, with knowledge of the likely functional effects
of a wide range of health conditions.</p><p> </p><p>While preparing to undertake an
assessment, Healthcare Professionals can access a wide range of clinical resources
to research any conditions presented. This includes evidence based protocols, e-learning
modules or case studies as well as keeping knowledge up to date through Continuous
Professional Development.</p>
