Who Accredits Our Register
The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) accredits the Academy of Healthcare Science Register under the Accredited Registers Programme.
The programme exists to produce an option for professional registration for those Healthcare Professionals who are not required by law to be registered (Non statutory), with the appropriate regulator to practice.
