Our work with Accredited Registers

We accredit organisations holding registers of health and care practitioners not regulated by law, to give the public confidence in their services.

About the Accredited Registers programme

The Accredited Registers programme helps to protect the public and improve confidence in health and social care practitioners that are not regulated by law. 

We accredit registers of practitioners working in a variety of health and social care occupations in the UK. Accreditation provides assurance to the public and others that a register is well run and requires its registrants to meet high standards of personal behaviour, technical competence and, where relevant, business practice. 

In order to be accredited, registers must meet our Standards. We publish an Accredited Registers Directory on our website. 

Accredited Registers and their registrants are permitted to use our Trademarked Quality Mark on their literature and websites. Only Accredited Registers and their registrants are allowed to use the Accredited Registers Quality Mark.
