Who are we?
CMSUK, BABICM & VRA have come together to create the IRCM, an independent organisation dedicated to the registration of qualified case managers. The purpose is to provide protection to the public, and reassurance to those who purchase case management services, as to the quality of the services received.
The IRCM is starting the process of accreditation with the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). The PSA is a regulatory body reporting to the government and is responsible for overseeing health professional registration bodies not covered by the Health and Care Professions Council.
Our Tender
The IRCM is delighted to invite suitably interested, qualified and experienced parties to tender to supply Project Management (PM) services, to enable the IRCM to prepare its application to the PSA.
