Public Protection
Registration protects the public by ensuring all listed practitioners hold verified qualifications, valid professional insurance (minimum £6 million public liability), and have agreed to our Code of Professional Conduct.
Industry Standards
UKTMRC sets and maintains national standards covering education, clinical excellence, workplace hygiene, and a minimum of 20 hours CPD annually — giving the profession a credible, unified regulatory framework.
