  2. What CQC do • CQC are the health and social care regulator for England • CQC register and monitor all health and social care providers in the country to ensure they meet agreed standards • They have brought 22,000 providers into the system and primary care is the final part to register • Registration only happens once it is not an annual process – after registering the focus moves to monitoring compliance

  3. Legislation • CQC, their role and responsibilities are set out in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 • It sets out ‘Regulations’ – requirements for quality and safety that all providers must meet as well as the registration process • Not complying with the regulations is an offence

  4. The essentials standards • CQC has produced a document called the Essential standards • This clarifies what it means to meet the regulations set by the Government • The standards do not change between sectors – but some will be more relevant to primary care

  5. CQC registration and standards • There are 16 essential standards of quality and safety, which come under five main areas of care: • Treating people with respect and involving them in their care • Provision of care, treatment and support that meets people’s needs • Caring for people safely and protecting them from harm • Staffing • Management

  6. Why regulate? • People can expect services to meet essential standards of quality, protect their safety and respect their dignity and rights, wherever care is provided, wherever they live • People have a right to choice and to know that providers are held accountable • Registration is the first part of regulation

  7. What does CQC register? CQC register providers who undertake regulated activities at locations and monitor their compliance with the essential standards. They also register registered managerswho are in charge of the day-to-day management of the regulated activities.
