Our main functions
To protect the public, we:
- set standards for registrants' education and training, professional skills, conduct, performance and ethics;
- keep a register of professionals who meet those standards;
- approve programmes which professionals must complete to register with us; and
- take action when professionals on our Register do not meet our standards.
Each of the professions that we regulate has one or more 'protected titles'. Only those on the HPC Register can legally use one of these titles.
