CQC Infection Control
There have been a lot of "urban myths" floating around over the past few years about what CQC means for practices, such as practices having to remove any toys from waiting rooms and replacing all their carpets. These aren't true but there is a need for practices to be compliant with regulations which now apply to General Practices. There is some guidance available at : -
- The Health and Social Care Act 2008: Code of Practice on the prevention and control of infections and related guidance (July 2015 updated version)
- GP mythbuster 99: Infection prevention and control in General Practice
Practices are advised to speak to the Infection Control lead at their CCG for further advice and support.
