The NHS was launched in 1948.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and adult social care in England. We make sure health and social care services provide people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and we encourage care services to improve.

The NHS Confederation is the membership organisation that brings together, supports and speaks for the whole healthcare system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The members we represent employ 1.5 million staff, care for more than 1 million patients a day and control £150 billion of public expenditure. We promote collaboration and partnership working as the key to improving population health, delivering high-quality care and reducing health inequalities. From April 2026, the NHS Confederation and NHS Providers are coming together to form The NHS Alliance. One organisation, one membership. Uniting, representing and supporting healthcare leaders to improve the NHS and health of the UK.
