The purpose of our Strategy is to:

  • describe what Council wishes the organisation to achieve
  • set the direction of the GOsC’s work, led by the Chief Executive and Registrar
  • provide a framework for the monitoring of the GOsC’s performance by Council

Our priorities

Strengthening trust
We will work to enhance and improve our relationships with those we work with so together we can help protect patients and the public.

Championing inclusivity
It is important to us that people who interact with us, or who work for us, can be their true selves and that we understand and break down any barriers which prevent them from doing so.

Embracing innovation
We will continually seek out and take opportunities to improve what we do and how we do it, so we continue to improve as an organisation.
