Organisations we regulate

We work in partnership with many national organisations to share information about services and people's experiences of them.

By working more closely with national partners, we will increase efficiency by reducing duplication and making the best use of shared information and resources. Our inspection and intelligence teams have an ongoing relationship with organisations including:

We also engage with other partner organisations, such as:

  • the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
  • the Independent Sector Complaints Adjudication Service (ISCAS)
  • the Independent Healthcare Providers Network (IHPN) and the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN)
  • professional regulators such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the General Medical Council (GMC)
  • royal colleges

We will work with these bodies and gather different types of information regularly, as well as in the lead-up to an inspection.
