The Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA) oversees statutory bodies that regulate health professionals in the United Kingdom and social care in England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Overseeing regulators )〕 Where occupations are not subject to statutory regulation, it sets standards for those organisations that hold voluntary registers and accredits those that meet them. Until 30 November 2012 it was known as the Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence (CHRE). It is an independent body, which is accountable to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It assesses the performance of each regulator, conducts audits, scrutinises their decisions and reports to Parliament. It seeks to achieve balance in the oversight of regulation through the application of the concept of right-touch regulation. The Authority has several stated aims: sharing good practice and knowledge, conducting research and introducing new ideas to the health and social care sector. It monitors policy developments in the UK and internationally and provides advice on issues relating to professional standards in health and social care. It also aims to promote the health, safety and well-being of users of health and social care services and the public. ==Oversight of the regulators== The Authority covers the 9 statutory bodies that regulate health professionals in the UK and social workers in England:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Regulators: Statutory Regulators Directory )〕 * General Chiropractic Council * General Dental Council * General Medical Council * General Optical Council * General Osteopathic Council * Health and Care Professions Council * Nursing and Midwifery Council * Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland * General Pharmaceutical Council 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
