Ultimately only the Professionals entered on the register can use the legally protected title. Protection of Titles

They will be responsible for the registration of approximately 18,000 - 20,0000 professionals when all of our registers are open. These registers when established will become available for the public to check for registered Health or Social Care Professionals as listed above.
