The Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence are running a series of meetings to provide an update on what they are doing to make the regulation more patient-centred and to listen to your views as your opinion really matters to them.

At the meetings you can:

• Learn what they found in the Performance Review of the health professional regulators this year
• Give your views on two new projects:  Measuring Regulators’ work and How regulators involve patients and the public
• Hear where they have got to with creating a single point of contact for complaints about a health professional
• Work with them to develop their plans to engage with patients and the public.

The meetings are taking place in Manchester, Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast and London.  All the meetings start at 11.00am and registration opens at 10.30am on the day.  The details for the meeting in Manchester are set out below:
