About the professional registration-representation unit
UNISON's professional registration-representation unit (PRRU) consults and maintains realistic and internationally relevant standards of professional competence and ethics for all of our professional members in health, local government, education and the voluntary sector.We discuss, design and faciilitate courses with competent institutions and especially our partners UNISON Open College and the Open University to promote and uphold the standards of the professions.
The PRRU exists to promote, for the public benefit, the advancement of all professions to advance public education in the field and to represent the needs and interests of all our professional members in the provision or advancement of health care, social care and education.
The PRRU represents members in fitness to practice cases where they have allegedly failed to maintain the standards of registration in health, competency or conduct.
UNISON has members registered in eight of the nine health registration bodies and with the General Social Care Council. We have members in the majority of the 12 professions registered with the Health Professions Council and a number of the 30 emerging professions who are in discussions with the HPC.
