The CQC has developed a suite of clinical searches which are now routinely used when carrying out inspections of GP practices. Partnering with Ardens and with support from SystmOne, EMIS Web and Vision, these searches will be made available to practices from 31st May. For further information, please see www.ardens.org.uk/cqc The CQC searches have been specifically designed to identify potential risk. They should not be used as a substitute for a practice's own governance systems and processes for managing patient care. Our upcoming webinar will go into further details about clinical searches, as well as demonstrating how practices can access and use them. When: Wednesday 22nd June, 13:30-14:30 Where: Microsoft Teams Together with the Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network (AHSN) we have published findings from our research into how GP practices use innovative methods to address local health inequalities. The work will inform our developing regulatory approach so that it can better recognise and encourage innovation. In this blog, Dr Rosie Benneyworth, Chief Inspector of Primary Medical Services and Integrated Care at the Care Quality Commission, and Richard Stubbs, CEO of Yorkshire & Humber AHSN and Vice-Chair of the AHSN Network, reflect on the collaborative work undertaken to better understand how to support GP practices to reduce health inequalities. Are you a trainee GP? Have you ever wondered who the CQC are, what they do, and what happens on an inspection? This podcast, with trainee GP Devina Maru, Rosie Benneyworth, and Inspector Surupa Santra, answers all these questions and more. Ideal for anyone wanting to find out more about the CQC. The podcast is also available to listen to on YouTube with subtitles. Our latest mythbuster is on travel health services. In England, a provider needs to be registered with CQC if they provide travel health services delivered by a doctor or nurse. This comes under the regulated activity of Treatment of disease, disorder or injury. Travel health services provided in occupational or military settings work under their own standards of practice and are exempt from CQC registration. Pharmacies are also exempt where the service is not delivered by a doctor or nurse. We are looking for developers and adopters of artificial intelligence (AI) in health and care and some data-driven technologies to help shape the development of an advice service.
The service will offer information and guidance on legal and ethical use of data, regulation and health technology assessment (HTA). The project is a collaboration between the CQC and other national bodies. We have developed a prototype for developers and adopters of AI and are now looking to test and improve it through user research. |
