In this blog we hear from Victoria Vallance, Director of Secondary and Specialist Care, who updates on our ongoing national maternity inspection programme and offers early insight into the emerging themes.
Themes include triage, communication and personalised care, culture and training, and leadership and staffing. Based on our first 20 trust inspections, we want to take this opportunity to showcase how some of the services are overcoming key challenges through good practice. By sharing these emerging themes, we are urging trusts to learn from one another and improve their service as the programme progresses.
Through its Regulators' Pioneer Fund, in November 2022 the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) awarded us £118,004 to explore and pilot ways of developing the right regulatory environment for innovation to flourish.
Over the next 6 months, we'll work with a group of innovators and partners within the health and care system.
We're looking for case studies for this project. Are you doing something innovative that you'd like to flag to us and share with others? If you know of any good examples of innovation, either through invention or adoption, please send them to RPF.innovation@cqc.org.uk
CQC user researchers look at how people use websites and systems (like ‘Notify CQC’ or ‘Give Feedback on Care’) so we can improve them. Currently, our focus is on Regulatory Transformation services, and making sure they’ll work for you when released.
What is this research for?
This research is aimed at improving the cancellation journey for registration to determine if there are any design, content or usability issues that prevent providers from achieving their goals.
What will the research involve?
A one-to-one session between 30-60 minutes where we'll share a prototype for users to review and give feedback. This will take place via Microsoft Teams.
We need to speak to providers from all sectors, particularly registered managers.
On 17 February 2023, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), on behalf of the UK government and the devolved legislatures, published Regulating anaesthesia associates and physician associates, a public consultation on the draft legislation to bring physician associates and anaesthesia associates into regulation.
This legislation represents the first part of the government’s commitment to modernise the regulatory system for healthcare professionals across the UK. The legislative provisions have been drafted on the basis of the detailed policy proposals set out in the government’s response to the Regulating healthcare professionals, protecting the public consultation.
The consultation will run for 3 months until 16 May 2023 and is hosted on Gov.UK. Please respond using the online survey and if you have any questions contact RegulationReform@dhsc.gov.uk
