There's quite a gap between the highest-joining and lowest-joining professions we regulate. ⬇️

In 2024, 75% of people training to become prosthetists and orthotists joined our Register after completing their studies. 80% of hearing aid dispensers did.

That compares to 97% of those training to be operating department practitioners or paramedics.
