Earlier this year I was fortunate to have the opportunity to shadow a CQC inspection of a 60-bed care home. An article detailing my experiences has now been published by The Guardian Social Care Network, and can be found here: http://www.theguardian.com/social-care-network/2015/may/14/good-care-but-carelessness-what-i-found-from-shadowing-a-cqc-inspection
Commenting on this, Andrea Sutcliffe, Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care at the Care Quality Commission said:
“Beth has been a key member of our adult social care external co-production meeting and brings tremendous insight from the experience of her own father’s care which has helped to shape and design our new approach.”
