About regulators

The regulators we oversee ‘register’ health and care professionals working in occupations that Parliament has said must be regulated. For example, doctor, nurse, pharmacist and paramedic.

Regulators investigate complaints about health and care professionals. Serious cases are referred to hearings by fitness to practise committees. We review their decisions and can appeal them.
