What we do - some examples of our work
We hope that these case studies will help illustrate the work we do in the three key areas:
- our statutory work overseeing the 10 health and care professional regulators
- our work accrediting voluntary registers
- our work conducting and commissioning research to look at ways to improve regulation.
You can also read our short report explaining our work in more detail. It includes these case studies, outlines what we do and also casts an eye to the future.
