CQC Action Plan – Basic Life Support Training

February 16, 2018

As you will know, part of our response to the CQC rating was to improve how many of our colleagues have in-date basic life support training.  Over 90 per cent of our colleagues must have in date training by the end of March 2018.  We still have a way to go to achieve this with some ward areas reported as low as 10 per cent of colleagues having in-date training. The below table shows the number of colleagues per group who are out of date with their training – if you are one of those please ensure you complete the training as soon as possible.

Group Total number of staff Number of staff compliant No. of staff out of date % staff compliance
Medicine & EC 1105 610 495 55
Imaging 235 160 75 68
Corporate 409 284 125 69
Surgical Services 1143 791 352 69
W&CH 818 606 212 74
PCCT 872 656 216 75
Pathology 71 56 15 79

All colleagues have a responsibility to ensure their mandatory training is up to date.
