Enhancing Patient-Centred Care: The Importance of ReSPECT Training for Healthcare and Social Care Professionals The ability to make swift and informed decisions regarding patient care is paramount, particularly during emergencies when patients may be unable to communicate their wishes. The Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) process is designed to address this need by creating personalised recommendations for patients’ clinical care in such scenarios. Understanding and implementing ReSPECT is crucial for all healthcare and social care staff, especially when there is a change in the care environment. The Importance of ReSPECT, DNAR, and ADRT | Personalised Choices in Emergency Situations ReSPECT, DNAR, and ADRT documents are crucial in providing patient-centred choices during emergencies. These documents can be used individually or together and are regularly updated to reflect any changes in a patient's condition or wishes.Understanding ReSPECT ReSPECT stands for Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment. Unlike many DNACPR schemes and treatment escalation plans, ReSPECT is: Proactive: It anticipates future health events and decisions rather than reacting to emergencies as they occur. Personalised: Tailored to the specific needs and wishes of the patient. Inclusive: Involves input from the patient, their family, and healthcare professionals. Comprehensive: Covers a range of decisions beyond just CPR, including other critical treatments. Universal: Applicable across all healthcare settings nationwide. Expert-Driven: Developed by national experts in collaboration with the public. The Use of ReSPECT, DNAR, and ADRT Forms Read on to find out how and when these forms are used? #Healthcare #SocialCare #PatientCare #EmergencyCare #AdvancedCarePlanning #PatientCentredCare #ReSPECT #DNAR #ADRT #HealthcareTraining #ProfessionalDevelopment #MedicalEducation #PatientSafety #HealthcareProfessionals #TidalTraining #CarePlanning #HealthcareManagement Clare Tidal Training Direct Ltd.

Recent developments at the Care Quality Commission (CQC) have raised important questions about the effectiveness of their inspection regime and the new Single Assessment Framework. Key concerns: Inspection Framework: The new Single Assessment Framework has faced criticism for potential shortcomings in accurately assessing healthcare providers. Oversight Effectiveness: There have been instances where the CQC's oversight of care quality has been called into question. A recent report highlighted a service rated as inadequate, stating, "The provider did not have effective oversight of the care provided". Public Confidence: The CQC's #declareyourcare campaign revealed that many people regret not raising concerns about their care, indicating a potential gap in public trust or awareness. While these issues are concerning, it's important to note that many healthcare providers still report positive experiences with CQC inspections. This suggests there's room for improvement rather than a complete overhaul. What are your thoughts on how we can contribute to this process? #HealthcareQuality #CQC #PatientSafety #HealthcareRegulation https://lnkd.in/e9a2tWTN

Recent data revealed a significant increase, with the English referral-to-treatment list expanding by 31,000 pathways in May, totaling 7.60 million. The rise in over 65-week waiters to 56,000 underscores the urgent need for innovative solutions. At The Medical and Diagnostic Care Group , we are committed to innovative approaches and tailoring our services to meet the unique needs of each Trust. Our goal is to help reduce these waiting times and support the NHS England in delivering timely care to patients. With a new government pledge to reduce typical RTT waiting times to 18 weeks by 2029, our collaborative efforts are more critical than ever. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that patients receive the care they need when they need it. #Healthcare #NHS #Innovation #PatientCare #MDCG #HealthcareLeadership #Insource #NHSWithoutWaitingLists

HSJ has reported that the #CQC has admitted it is failing to keep patients “safe” and is losing the confidence of ministers and the NHS. The statement by CQC seen by HSJ adds: “The way we work is not working and we are not consistently keeping people who use services safe. This is shocking to read but sadly will come as no surprise to most of my connections. But what will be done about it? The ministerial review, launched under the Cabinet Office public bodies review programme, to examine the effectiveness of the CQC's new single assessment framework is due to report to a new government when it completes in the autumn. Will this, combined with the new leadership under whoever is to be Ian Trenholm's successor bring about real and sustained change? Any Provider in this same situation would be expected to make dramatic change to its governance and operational effectiveness or it would be cancelled!- why should CQC be any different. https://lnkd.in/ef3EWRYE Ridouts - now part of HCR Law HCR Health & Social Care National Care Association

There are definite positives with the extension of the PCN DES contract although not all questions from the previous contract have been answered. Whilst there is increased flexibility offered under the ARRS, PCNs need to be careful of creating sticking VAT costs in how they structure their supplies between practices. Too often we see VAT overlooked in the additional schedules to the PCN DES and with supplies of staff being one of the biggest costs to practices, VAT consequences should be taken into account at an early stage when considering what wording to include. We have a number of specialists at PKF-Francis Clark Chartered accountants & business advisers who would be happy to help consider how to get the best out of your PCN. #healthcare #PCNs #VAT #NHS

The recent suspension of the Care Quality Commission's (CQC) assessments of Integrated Care Systems marks a significant turning point in health and social care regulation. With hospitals and care homes going uninspected for years, it's clear that the CQC’s system is failing to safeguard safety. Dr Penny Dash’s review findings have uncovered troubling gaps in oversight, with a conflict of interest and with some inspectors having never set foot in the facilities they’re meant to regulate. At Care Inspections UK, we acknowledge Wes Streeting's commitment to "overhaul" this overly complex system and simplify the regulatory landscape to improve oversight.   It's time for a regulatory framework that delivers clarity, accountability, and tangible improvements for everyone who relies on the NHS and social care. The most significant change that could be made is splitting the regulatory role from inspection. Best practice overseas demonstrates that inspection should be undertaken as an evidence-based process by properly accountable and independent registered inspection bodies. This will ensure regular inspections that support continuous improvement rather than the CQC discredited fault-finding process and lack of inspection visits. https://lnkd.in/e2uRPhsg
