From 1st April 2013, all providers of healthcare have a statutory obligation to register with the CQC (Care Quality Commission) as part of the Health and Social Care Act 2008.
With practice manager vacancies at an all-time high, some sources quoting the figure as being between 12 – 20%, for many practice managers CQC registration was the straw from an ever increasing list of hurdles and hoops to jump through.
Primary Care Provision can help your practice and organisation obtain CQC compliancy, whether this is registering your organisation for the first time, or achieving compliancy and helping you prepare for a visit or post visit remedial action. The below is a brief list of some of the areas where Primary Care Provision Ltd can help, call or email us today to discuss your requirements.
Even the best organisations will have areas where improvements can be made. In the unfortunate event following an inspection from the CQC you have failed to meet your obligations against any of the required essential standards Primary Care Provision can help you to remedy the failing standard(s) and offer support and guidance.
The range of processes in place within any healthcare organisation are heavily regulated and to satisfy CQC inspectors organisations will be required to demonstrate compliancy against the required outcomes and standards. The CQC inspectors will assess your organisations protocols and policies thoroughly and as well as measuring these for accuracy.
Primary Care Provision will work with you to review your policies and procedures ensuring they are fit for purpose. Primary Care Provision will also ensure your policies and procedures are disseminated within the wider team to ensure all employee’s understand the practice standards.
Primary Care Provision will work with you to build your practice intranet to ensure all compliance documents are easily accessible. Primary Care Provision Managers have recently worked with practices to build the CQC tracker linking compliance to each KLOE to ensure practices are ready for their CQC inspection. We can also assist practices in building Topic Pages for particular areas.
Health and safety, specifically risk assessments, are often perceived as being complicated and very time consuming. This is where we can help by producing risk assessment suitable to your practice.
We will assist you to implement a comprehensive action plan on how to reach a goal. We will create a step-by-step process you have to perform to attain your goals.

This will include setting goals and objectives that are realistic to achieve.
We offer a virtual meeting with practice partners, up to two hours. We will guide you through any actions or improvements that your practice might need in order to demonstrate compliance and produce an easy to follow action plan.
Available either via video conference or telephone.
