Forthcoming Events

1. Professional Ethics Conference

Welcome to UKIPG

The UKIPG was founded in 1977 to act as a Forum for the major Professional and Regulatory Bodies in the United Kingdom. There are 30 bodies in membership. They reach across the healthcare, legal, financial, scientific, engineering and construction professions. Some are statutory bodies; others regulate under the terms of their Royal Charter or are representative associations.

Major areas of interest include Professional Regulation, Professional Education and Training, Continuing Professional Development, Corporate Governance, European and International Affairs, and Professional Ethics and Values.

The UKIPG is financed by subscriptions from members bodies and supported primarily by the efforts of the member bodies, facilitated by a part-time Secretary.

UPDATED INFORMATION:  The UKIPG has responsed formally to the BIS Higher Education White Paper 'Students at the Heart of the System' (albeit concentrating on 'professional body implementation matters' rather than the broader political agenda) and to the European Commission Gereen Paper 'Modernising the Professional Qualifications Directive' (2006/36/EC).   Both responses were submitted on 19th September 2011 and can be access from the 'PUBLICATIONS' section of this web-site, to which there is free access.

UKIPG WEB SITE ACCESS Any staff member / representative of a UKIPG Member Organisation should have access to almost the full range of pages of this web-site. However, it is first necessary to 'sign on' as such and be given a password (which can then be changed).  If you are having any difficulty, please contact UKIPG Secretary.
