Health Professions Council

I have just received my approval from the Health Professions Council (HPC) that means I can officially work as a Speech Therapist in this country! Finally! In light of my recent blog* see Only in America post below* I would have to say this, "Only in Britain!" does paperwork take this long to actually come through so I can work in a field where they have a high demand for me! Anyway, I can get a job now since I have this registration and I have a car. I am just waiting for my special card and number to come in the mail and a call from the people I applied to yesterday. I am hopeful that I will get something lined up for when I return from NJ on Feb. 28th. Thank you to all of you who prayed for me to get this registration and who paid for my lunches and coffees in the meantime! It is much appreciated, and I know I will have a lot of favors to return as soon as I earn my first paycheck!

Note: this picture is the logo for the HPC and not some random metaphor for all the pieces finally fitting together in our new life (although it is a clever piece of symbolism, get it "piece")!
