What we do

We protect the public by regulating 15 health and care professions in the UK

set standards for professionals' education and training and practice;
approve programmes which professionals must complete to register with us;
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 have produced an animation to explain how we operate and how the HCPC benefits both registrants and service users

Our corporate plan sets out the important development work we want to achieve to progress our strategy

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