CQC Developments - what NHS NEDs need to know | 28 February
Date: 28 February 2025
Time: 10.00 – 11.00
Location: Virtual, Zoom
It was painful to watch the recent select committee hearing where the new chief executive and outgoing chair of the Care Quality Commission was grilled by MPs, and the litany of errors, lost or late reports and flawed findings from the regulator were exposed. This was not a good month for CQC all around, with them also losing a landmark case around conflict of interest with a mental health provider and again pointed and unflattering remarks from the judge.
CQC is rolling out its new process and is under new leadership, and the government has reaffirmed the importance of both regulations and board assurance. In this new world and with CQC developing new approaches to meeting their obligations to the public, what do NEDs need to know? What questions should they be asking and what assurances would they be seeking? Also, as key actors in any CQC inspection visit, what are the hints and tips that NEDs will find helpful?
Our guest speaker is Claire Alexander, a NED at a social enterprise providing NHS services and a GGI associate. Claire has been working with organisations to help them prepare for CQC inspections and will be sharing her insight at what promises to be a practical webinar for NEDs. NHS NEDs will no doubt be bringing their own war stories and examples too, as always!
