We protect and support the professional interests of almost 300,000 members around the world.

We also actively campaign for regulatory and legal reforms that benefit members and the wider healthcare professions. To do this, we need colleagues who are trusted and supported to deliver their best work, whether that be through leadership development, fully funded training courses or peer-to-peer support.
