Health and Care Professions Council

Who we are

We protect the public by regulating 16 health and care professions.

To do this we:

• 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.

This is underpinned our core values: transparency, collaboration and responsiveness, and a commitment to offering value for money and a high quality service to our stakeholders.
