QCS Acquires CareBrain to Accelerate Care Sector Transformation
Quality Compliance Systems (QCS) has announced the acquisition of CareBrain, a technology transformation platform purpose-built for the care sector, marking a significant milestone in QCS’s mission to raise the UK’s care standards.
QCS, an RLDatix company and the UK’s leading digital provider of compliance, care management and learning for the care sector, supports over 335,000 care providers and staff across more than 7,200 care locations. The acquisition strengthens QCS’s offering and accelerates its technology roadmap, deepening its capabilities in existing markets.
CareBrain was founded by care and technology sector experts with over a century of combined experience across care and digital services. Its platform addresses some of the most time-intensive challenges facing care teams, including care plan audits, supervisions, and round-the-clock guidance. The result for providers is stronger compliance, better outcomes for the people they support, and more time for meaningful, person-centred care.
The CareBrain team brings exceptional frontline knowledge of how care services actually operate, complementing QCS’s technology platform and supporting faster product development and more practical, joined-up support.
Fiona Lowry, founder of CareBrain, joins QCS as an advisor. CareBrain CEO Hannah Morgan and the CareBrain team join QCS permanently, taking the company to 90 people.
Commenting on the acquisition, Nikki Walker, CEO at QCS, said: “This acquisition is an exciting step forward in strengthening the way we support care providers with compliance, governance and operational excellence through smarter, more connected technology. CareBrain has developed an innovative platform grounded in a deep understanding of the day-to-day pressures facing the sector, with a strong focus on improving oversight, reducing administrative burden and enabling more proactive decision-making. Our visions closely align: creating intelligent, joined-up systems that help providers embed quality, evidence and governance into everyday practice while giving teams more time to focus on delivering outstanding care. As two female-led businesses with a shared commitment to innovation, quality and positive sector impact, this partnership creates a powerful opportunity to shape the future of digitally enabled care compliance and assurance.”
Hannah Morgan, CEO at CareBrain, added: “There is a strong alignment between our two organisations in how we view the challenges facing the care sector and the growing importance of high-quality governance, and operational oversight. By joining QCS, we have the opportunity to accelerate the development of intelligent, connected solutions that help providers strengthen quality assurance, improve visibility and respond more proactively to risk and regulatory demands. Together, we can deliver greater value to care providers and make a meaningful impact on the quality and consistency of care for the people who rely on these services every day. This partnership represents an exciting next chapter built on shared ambition, innovation and purpose.”
