Please note that we have appointed The Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) as our new education quality assurance service provider. Their contract is scheduled to start on 1 September 2024. We are in the process of planning transition arrangements between our outgoing provider, Mott MacDonald, and the QAA and will update these webpages in due course. Read more here
We carry out additional quality assurance work when we believe nursing and midwifery education providers are not meeting our standards.
It might be necessary for us to carry out an extraordinary review of an education provider which may also include their practice placements in certain circumstances.
For example, when there is an adverse incident that presents a risk to public protection, or if an approved education institution (AEI) is seen to be either unaware of the incident or not to have effectively managed the risks. We would organise an unplanned monitoring review visit, usually at short notice.
The focus of the extraordinary review is stated to the AEI. The review team will have a specific plan for their quality assurance activity for both AEIs and practice learning partners.
