Professional Bodies
Each of the professions regulated by us has at least one professional body and/or association. These organisations do work which may include promoting the profession, representing members, curriculum frameworks, post registration education and training and continuing professional development. Whilst these organisations are separate from Coru, their role may be complementary to ours. This is why we have provided their contact details alongside a brief description of each profession for your further information.
