2. Launch of QA framework Outcome focused Responsibility of AEIs and LSAs

Exceptional reporting
Less on process more on outcomes
Clarifies the role of others – AEIs, practice placement partners and LSAs – AEI requirements and practice learning requirements

Stated process for responding to concerns
Proactively getting AEIs and LSAs to report by exception between routine reporting if necessary

3. Visits, inspections and reports from the LSA that relates to QA
MRS rules relate to the process by which the NMC gains assurance from the LSA that they are meeting our standards (Rules 11, 12 and 13)
We do this through:
Receiving an annual report from the LSA
Undertaking reviews of the LSA
Quarterly quality monitoring reports
Undertaking extraordinary reviews if required

4. New midwives rules and standards, published January 2013
