The Care Quality Commission is raising the bar – between April 2025 and September 2026, they plan to complete 9,000 assessments across health and social care settings. That is 5,013 assessments in adult social care, 887 in secondary care, 1,194 in primary & community care, 1,500 in oral health and primary dental care, and 726 in mental health.📊
Why does this matter? To keep your registration and achieve positive ratings, every member of your team needs to understand what excellence looks like.
These assessments are not just a tick-box exercise for leadership; they are an opportunity for every staff member, from front‑line carers to corporate colleagues to shine. 🌟
