Memoranda of understanding

An agreement by two or more organisations committing them to work together to support common goals

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) is an agreement by two or more organisations committing them to work together to support common goals. 

We usually only develop MoUs with organisations which:

  • inspect and/or investigate UK health services; or
  • are a UK devolved regulator of the professions we regulate in England; or
  • are a non UK Government whose laws require professionals to be on the HCPC register.
