is your venue compliant?

CQC expects demonstrable, up-to-date clinical competence - can you evidence it?

CQC's key questions explicitly require providers to demonstrate that staff have the skills and knowledge to deliver safe, effective care.

BLS certification, clinical competency training, and documented refresher records are not optional - they are evidence that your service is safe. Gaps in training are a red flag during inspection.

  • CQC inspections assess whether staff can respond appropriately to clinical emergencies
  • BLS certification should be renewed annually for most healthcare settings
  • ILS training is required for staff who may encounter the deteriorating patient
  • Training records must be maintained and available for CQC inspection at any time
  • Agency and bank staff require the same level of documented competency as permanent staff
  • Unresponsive casualty management, AED use and airway skills are core CQC competencies
