Volunteers required: Mock CQC inspections/Fundamentals of Care visits

November 12, 2024

We are looking for volunteers to take part in our Fundamentals of Care Visits (Mock CQC inspections).

These visits are crucial for our clinical teams, and for the organisation as a whole, to be assured of the continual improvements being made to clinical care, patient outcomes, and patient and staff experience.  By being part of a team of volunteers to peer review care across our organisation you will be contributing to the Trust’s wider aim of developing a culture where recognising excellence and identifying opportunities for improvement is part of everyone’s role.

If this is something that you are interested in, and you would be available to come along and carry out a visit (taking approximately three hours) we would love to hear from you.

Visits are observational and involve chatting to staff and patients.  We provide a comprehensive toolkit to support you with what evidence to look for and we start each session with a briefing meeting before the visit where you will be put into a small team of volunteers.  Visits to our clinical areas happen across the whole of the SWB campus (all sites, including community).

If you would like to book a place to come along and undertake a visit, or if you would like any further information regarding this opportunity then please email ruth.spencer10@nhs.net.

The dates for the sessions are listed below:
