Policies and procedures

Comprehensive advice on meeting governance requirements

Increasingly, every healthcare organisation is assessed on the quality of its governance. It is essential for organisations to have robust policies and procedures in place to satisfy the requirements of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as well as ensuring the organisation as a whole is kept up to date with statutory requirements/knowledge and employees training is current.

The content of a policy and its application within an organisation can be scrutinised in litigation, in judicial review, or during a negligence action. We regularly advise as to the contents of policy as well as the interpretation and application of a particular procedure. Robust governance has financial implications extending far beyond NHS Resolution premiums.

Corporate work involves assessment in an organisation’s procedures and regulation as a key issue of the governance requirements. Employment policies are also scrutinised in transactional work.
