The start of a brand new year is always a time for reflection on what has passed and a look ahead to what the next 12 months will offer.

On our latest podcast, sponsored by Rotacloud, Care Home Management brought together two experts to look ahead at both what the Care Quality Commission’s new assessment framework will mean for care home regulation and whether operators are as up to speed as they should be with using digital social care records that the CQC will be demanding.

Our experts Philippa Doyle, partner and head of social care at Hempsons solicitors and Daniel O’Shaughnessy, delivery manager at Digital Care Hub, which used to be known as Digital Social Care, discussed what care homes should do to prepare for the new framework and how they can seek help to ensure they equip themselves with the right systems. 

They discuss:

• Whether the CQC framework will improve quality of care
• How to finally move from paper to digital in 2024

This time, Abi interviewed Dawn Waller, former CQC Inspector and Policy Manager,  discussing how providers can raise the topic of relationships and sexuality with residents in a constructive and compassionate way. 

In episodes 1 and 2 , we looked at what you need to do to become a registered manager.

We have looked at what it means to be fit to be a manager, what skills and qualifications you need, and now we will tackle health.

This is the area that I find people get concerned about. You are asked within the process to sign a declaration to say you are fit and healthy for the job and to give your GPs details.

In this episode, Abi is going to walk you through the law, CQC guidance for providers, what you should expect in an interview and more!
