So David Behan is leaving the CQC in the summer? Think I might write to him before he leaves to find out exactly what got changed after he wrote this letter. (Final page).pic.twitter.com/lNoQOEDMrz
Of course views all mine. All without prejudice. Just a regular chap after all. Oh...and RT's may equally imply ridicule as endorsement.

Surely if a copy of consent form is given to every patient before their procedure retrospective changes would be impossible?
I would agree. Although it won't protect all, it should protect most. Problem is, the only time CQC have ever checked & recorded data, they found the trust had retained the pt's copy in 85% of forms inspected. (Pause for effect) They've not recorded any further such data since.
We regularly audit whether a copy has been given to the patient. It is over 95% but not perfect.
That's very interesting to hear. Not just the result, but also the fact that you conduct an audit on the subject at all. What made you undertake an audit process in the first place?
We audit virtually everything we consider important and for CQC it is useful to demonstrate that we are at least trying to do things right even if not perfect and can show whether improving or not year on year
I find that very encouraging. Thanks doc. May I ask, when did you first include checking pt consent forms had been given out? And why?
About 5 years or more ago. I suspect because it is a requirement of good consent practice to give a copy.
Where do you take your lead from these days for what represents good consent practice? I'm just looking to find anything that specifies the need to hand a copy to patient, or auditing the same.
I always take my lead from what I consider to be right thing to do but I’ll have a look and get back to you.
