CQC has today set out how it will work more effectively with Health Education England (HEE).

HEE is responsible for the education and training of people who work in healthcare such as: nurses, doctors, physiotherapists and healthcare assistants. This is monitored by them during visits to observe the quality of training.

CQC has published a memorandum of understanding, which gives details of the principles both organisations will follow.

The MoU has two annexes. The first covers acute hospitals and the second primary medical services. The agreements provide details on how both organisations have agreed to work together more closely, including sharing information.
