Choosing the right solution for your organisation
MEDSU offers tailored packages to suit all healthcare organisations, regardless of size; whether you are a newly established clinic, or an existing Designated Body. Rest assured, we can provide your healthcare organisation with as little or as much input as you need.
Our Responsible Officers and Designated Body services provide you with consistency, continuity, and peace of mind – all essential components of a successful approach to meeting the myriad of regulatory and compliance demands.
New Provider / Need an RO
MEDSU will liaise with you to see if your organisation meets the eligibility criteria to become a Designated Body.
Our team will help you nominate a Responsible Officer and prepare your forms for submission to NHS England, so you can notify. Once approval is obtained, we will manage your obligations on your behalf and liaise with your Responsible Officer to maintain your regulatory compliance.
You need to replace your existing RO or Provider
Whether you are an existing Designated Body that needs to change provider, or your current Responsible Officer is stepping down, we can help.
MEDSU can provide a nominated Responsible Officer and Deputy RO to your organisation who will implement, oversee, and ensure that all of your governance processes meet mandated requirements of the law.
Your existing RO needs Support
We can provide all the support your RO and organisation needs to ensure excellence in medical governance.
We provide a community of senior clinicians with expertise in matters of medical governance, a fully trained Appraiser panel, a dedicated administrative team and access to the MEDSU portal – a leading technology platform for managing the Appraisal and Revalidation cycle in the UK.
