Health Professions Council - sorting out the qualified from the quacks

The Health Professions Council is a new regulatory body that carries details of registered and qualified health practitioners in a range of specialties that have what are called 'protected titles' and are not already covered by other regulatory bodies.

Among the specialities covered by the HPC are biomedical scientists, chiropodists, dieticians, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists.

You can search the HPC website to check that anyone who is working in one of these areas is properly qualified and registered. If not, then you need to be asking questions.
