Joining the Register
Choose the professional registration route that applies to you.
It is best practice for healthcare professionals to be externally regulated. Professional registration also provides reassurance to parents, families, employers and commissioning bodies that a practitioner’s education and practice have been assessed against established standards. Apply for admission to the FEDANT National Register and maintain the standards required for professional responsibility, safe practice and continuing development.
