Strategic Plan - vision, mission and aims 2026 to 2029

This Strategic Plan for 2026-29 sets out our vision: safer care for all through high standards of conduct and competence in health and social care professionals.

It outlines how we will work to achieve this. It will mean delivering our core functions, and working with others to influence positive change, in the context of reform to the way health and social care is delivered and continuing legislative reform of professional regulation. 

To achieve this, we will need to delivery our statutory functions with maximum impact, efficiency and integrity. There are five strategic themes that will frame our work: oversight, prevention, reform, governance and collaboration.

These themes underpin our three strategic aims, which are set out below:

  • Strategic Aim 1: To protect the public by delivering highly effective oversight of regulation and registration
  • Strategic Aim 2: To drive improvements in regulation and registration in health and social care
  • Strategic Aim 3: To work with others to make the overall system of healthcare regulation more cohesive, supportive and preventative.
