The Concordat between bodies inspecting, regulating and auditing health or social care (2004) is a "voluntary agreement between organisations that regulate, audit, inspect or review elements of health and healthcare in England".[1] It is made up of 10 objectives designed to promote closer working between the signatories. Each objective is underpinned by a number of practices that focus developments on areas that will help to secure effective implementation.
There are full[2] and associate signatories[3] to the concordat.
A similar agreement was concluded by bodies reviewing health and social care in Wales in 2005.
