In Care Home Management's latest COVID-19 podcast special, sponsored by Smooth Digital, we help care homes get to grips with the CQC’s Emergency Support Framework.

We talk to two experts: Neil Grant, health and social care regulatory lawyer at Gordons Partnership LLP and David Beattie, health and social care consultant at Care Ideals.

The new framework follows the CQC’s suspension of physical inspections. 

In this podcast we explain how this is a performance assessment rather than just a supportive chat and how the phone calls will aim to determine how care homes are coping in the pandemic.

Our experts explain why care homes should not be overly concerned, but they do need to be prepared.

The podcast covers in detail:

·       How can care providers prepare for the emergency framework?

·       How an assessment which could lead to enforcement action?

·       What is a Summary Record and how will it be used?

·       What is a care home’s right to reply?

·       What will happen to the data and information gathered on these phone calls? Will it be published?

·       How will the questions change over time as we move through the pandemic?

·       Will these calls be a one-off?
