Independent Healthcare Providers Network (IHPN) -
Independent healthcare providers have committed to implementing a medical governance framework that will help ensure all independent sector providers in England are able to further improve the care they are giving to their patients. The IHPN, which represents independent healthcare providers delivering both NHS and privately funded care, asked former national NHS National Medical Director Sir Bruce Keogh to work with the sector to bring together key principles to strengthen and build upon the medical governance systems already in place. These principles form part of a new Medical Practitioners Assurance Framework.
