The NRAS establishes a series of National Boards which set standards, codes and guidelines for regulated health professions. National Boards regulate the following health professions: medicine, nursing and midwifery, pharmacy, physiotherapy, psychology, osteopathy, chiropractic, optometry, dental and podiatry.
