The GDC is one of 13 organisations, known as health and social care regulators. We each monitor one or more of the health and social care professions by regulating individual professionals across the UK and making sure they meet certain standards.

We were created to protect the public, and to make sure that whenever you see a person who provides health or social care in the UK (whether private or in the NHS) you can be sure they meet our standards.
