Patient Complaints - The DOs and DON'Ts - two half day workshops, Thursday 7 October 2015

 

Are you confident that you have a complaints
process that would stand scrutiny?

Do you dread patient complaints?

If so, there is a better way!

Patient complaints are in the regulatory and contractual spotlight.
An assessment of a practice’s complaints handling process is a key inspection area for the CQC, for NHS England - and increasingly for CCGs. So get it right and you will find it easier to comply with the different regulatory and contractual obligations for your practice. You will also foster a more positive relationship with your patients. Get it wrong and you may find your practice in trouble with NHS England and the CQC. Complaints will be more protracted and difficult. More of your complaints will be escalated for a decision by the Ombudsman and even the GMC.

This half day course is designed help GPs to:
    • Understand the regulatory and contractual significance of patient complaints handling.
    • Help prepare for CQC inspections.
    • Improve their clinical leadership in this area.
    • Help to improve your patient complaints processes.
