Messages to Registrants
*   All registrants are reminded to renew your annual practising certificates that will expire on 30 June each year. In accordance with section 16 of the Supplementary Medical Professions Ordinance, no registrant should practise his/her profession in Hong Kong unless he/she holds a practising certificate that is then in force. Please see Letter to all registrants dated 29 April 2010 on renewal of annual practising certificates.

*   All registrants should keep the Secretary to the Occupational Therapists Board informed of your updated correspondence/ practising addresses within two months of such change.

*   Companies carrying on the business of practising occupational therapy are reminded to provide the requested information with the Secretary to the Occupational Therapists Board by completing the prescribed statement form within 14 days after 1 July in each year.

*   Under section 11 of the Supplementary Medical Professions Ordinance, a list of the names, addresses, qualifications and dates of the qualifications of all persons whose names appear on the register has to be published annually in the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Gazette. The correspondence address that you provide to the Occupational Therapists Board will appear in the Gazette and on the relevant Government website where the e-Gazette is published. The names and the registration numbers of registrants will also be posted on the website (www.smp-council.org.hk/ot/english/index.htm) of the Occupational Therapists Board. The main purpose of publishing such information is to protect the public by creating a public record of persons who are registered occupational therapists and are entitled to practise the profession in Hong Kong.
