Community PostHi Everyone There has been a great deal of conversations been had in the media surrounding the changes CQC are making in relation to the single assessment changes etc. I was wondering if anyone has a staff briefing pack they are willing to share that gives an overview of the forthcoming changes. Thanks Ian

Patient safety and high-quality care is the foundation of healthcare delivery, aimed at minimising risks, errors and harm to patients. It is important for students in their pre-registration education to understand that the principles of patient safety, and delivering safe and high-quality care, is not merely an academic requirement but a professional and ethical duty. By embedding patient safety into the core of pre-registration learning, educational establishments can ensure that the healthcare professionals of the future are equipped with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to deliver high-quality, safe and effective care. -

Community PostI am just updating our somewhat outdated policies to align with PSIRF. I am Head of Clinical Quality and Governance for a Primary Care Provider with 1.3 million patients on our books. For me I can write as many policies and supporting documents as needed, it's a cultural change that is the biggest role.

Community PostI have recently introduced our integrated quality report that pulls together all quality streams from all services (Primary Care) I always want to share positive feedback and what has worked well. In the integrated quality report I have introduced sections where we celebrate good practice.

Community PostMorning All I hope you are all well. I have a question in relation to Duty of Candour (DoC) In relation to formal complaints and the responses we send to service users, do any of you use these in executing your DoC statutory obligations, or do you write to the service users separately as per the guidance. I have been advised by an individual that they have been using the formal complaint response as their statutory DoC response and not a separate letter. What are your thoughts? any advice or thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks

Community PostI agree with you. I take every opportunity to learn and ensure the orgnaisation(s) I work with take this opportunity too. The challenge came from an inexperienced board all who have a non-healthcare background. This is not an issue but it is a challenge sometimes trying to get the reasoning across to them and their understanding is at various levels.

Community PostHello Everyone, I hope you are well. I ma currently reviewing our relevant policies. My question is a simple one, would you/do you continue to investigate a complaint if litigation or the request for compensation is detailed in the complaint letter. Many thanks Ian
