The Health Professions Council (HPC) was established in April 2001 by the Health Professions Order 2001 and is a UK statutory regulator of over 200,000 health professionals from fifteen professions. As a regulator the HPC was set up to protect the public by keeping a register of health professionals who meet the HPC?s standards for their training, professional skills, behaviour and health.

In 2010 the HPC regulated the following fifteen health professions: arts therapists, biomedical scientists, chiropodists / podiatrists, clinical scientists, dietitians, hearing aid dispensers, occupational therapists, operating department practitioners, orthoptists, paramedics, physiotherapists, practitioner psychologists, prosthetists / orthotists, radiographers, and speech and language therapists.
