NHS Provider licence

NHS Provider Licence

The NHS Provider Licence was introduced in 2013 following the Health and Social Care Act 2012 to regulate providers and ensure the health sector works in the best interests of patients. The licence was modified and re-issued in 2023 to reflect current statutory and policy requirements.
