Choose the professional registration route that applies to you
Your qualifications deserve recognition. FEDANT registration gives you a publicly searchable National Register entry, helps families check your professional status and connects you with practical guidance and ongoing support. Professional registration provides reassurance to parents, families, employers and commissioning bodies that your education and practice have been assessed against established standards. It is best practice for healthcare professionals to be externally regulated. Registration carries an ongoing commitment to professional responsibility, safe practice and continuing development.
As professionals in the antenatal and postnatal sector know, FEDANT registration is more than access to insurance. Following successful admission, it provides your own place on the FEDANT National Register, the primary resource for parents and families to find and check professionals in the field, authorised use of the FEDANT logo and access to professional guidance, resources and support when you need it. Registrants receive regular Registrant News Briefings and urgent notifications of relevant legislative or regulatory changes.
Start with the route that best reflects your principal professional role. You can then add any additional registration categories during the application process. Understand eligibility, the evidence you will need and each stage of applying for admission to the National Register.
