consider, and so many different ‘boxes to tick’ it can be hard for practice managers to keep on top of absolutely everything. In many cases when CQC inspectors find a failing, the lack of compliance is normally as a result of lack of understanding on the part of the practice, and not on any grounds of wilful neglect. This is why it’s so important that as a practice
team you fully understand the regulations and how they specifically apply to your practice. Without careful planning and thought, it can be all too easy to miss something out, only to have CQC inspectors pick up on it on inspection day. Ask yourself, for example: Do you have full
records of staff induction training and additional refresher training on all pieces of equipment in your practice? Do you have a suitable infection control policy for your waiting areas? Do you have a full set of up-to-date practice policies and written procedures? At dbg we can help you address all these
questions and more besides, as we work together with you to bring your practice into full CQC compliance. We have over 20 years’ experience working alongside healthcare practices and are ideally placed to meet your practice’s compliance needs. As well as providing membership services to GP practices, we also work closely with dental practices as well. Because dentistry has been under CQC jurisdiction for over three years now, we have built up an incredible amount of experience that we can bring to GP practices, giving you the tools you need to pass your CQC inspection with flying colours.
