Memoranda of understanding
Memoranda of understanding define the frameworks, expectations, terms and conditions of a strategic relationship between two parties. They are not legally binding agreements, but they support the development of collaborative working relationships and incorporate high level principles governing that relationship. Memoranda are generally supported by other more detailed agreements, for example information sharing agreements or protocols in relation to specific areas of work.

The Healthcare Commission has developed some generic terms, which will generally feature in Memoranda of Understanding with external partners.
