title: The regulation of clinical photographers.
abstract: A long-held ambition for the regulation of clinical photographers is soon to be realized: in September 2004 the Health Professions Council formally approved an application by the Council for the Accreditation of Medical Illustration Practitioners, and it is anticipated that clinical photographers will be amongst the first group of healthcare scientists to join the national state register in 2005. This paper describes the application process and the ramifications for the profession.
