What is CORU?
CORU is Ireland’s multi-profession health regulator.
Our role is to protect the public by promoting high standards of professional conduct, education, training and competence through statutory registration of health and social care professionals.
CORU was set up under the Health and Social Care Professionals Act 2005 (as amended)

The professions to be regulated are:
- Clinical Biochemists
