A guide to our Council

Our Council is our governing body. It sets our strategy and goals to ensure we're doing all we can to protect the public's health and safety across the UK. 

In this guide we bring together information about our Council Chair and its members, which includes six medical professionals and six members with no medical background. It covers what is expected of all our members and what committees each member sits on.

You can also download the latest discussions and reports available from Council meetings and see the upcoming meeting schedules.
