The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is currently writing to primary medical services introducing to them the new system of registration under the Health and Safety Act 2008.
Whilst acute trusts, dentists and private healthcare providers have already received or submitted their application for registration throughout 2010/11, primary medical services have not yet been asked to submit their applications.
However, from 1 April 2012, all providers whose sole or main purpose is to provide NHS primary medical services are legally required to be registered with CQC and must show they meet essential standards of care. This requires the production of copious amounts of documentation, policies, public facing leaflets, process charts and audit evidence.
Words Worth Reading Ltd has been working with private healthcare providers from all remits and acute hospitals to support their CQC documentation production, registration process and assessment preparation. If you now need to get your registration ready for the CQC, don't struggle alone - give us a call.
