What we do

We protect the public by regulating 15 health and care professions

set standards for professionals' education and training and practice;
keep a register of professionals, known as 'registrants', who meet our standards; and
take action if professionals on our Register do not meet our standards.

We regularly consult service users and carers, health and care professionals and other key stakeholders, to get their views on the work we do.

Our aim to be a high performing regulator which delivers forward-looking regulation underpinned by strong data, collaboration and compassion

Many of the professions we regulate are entitled to sell, supply, administer or prescribe medicines

The professions we regulate have one or more designated titles that are protected by law and professionals must be registered to use them
