Our transitional approach We recently set out how we will regulate during the next phase of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. And from 6th October, we began to roll out our transitional regulatory approach The transitional approach focuses on safety, how effectively a service is led and how easily people can access the service. You can find out more information about the approach on our website and can find more on the specific questions we will ask as part of this for the following types of providers: General practice Independent doctors and clinics Dental services Urgent care, NHS 111 and GP out of hours Feedback on our transitional approach We want to make sure our transitional approach meets the needs of providers, professionals in health & social care and people who use services. Your feedback will help us to do that and understand how it needs to change. You can feedback now through this short survey. This section includes updates on how we are developing our future strategy and opportunities to get involved in this work Developing our strategy As part of how we're developing our next strategy, we have set out our latest thinking on a range of key areas. This document is a product of our engagement so far and presents emerging themes that we want to explore and refine ahead of a formal consultation in January. In a recent blog, Care Quality Commission Chief Executive, Ian Trenholm, discusses how what we've heard so far has influenced our future strategy, and sets out how you can share your views.

The Domiciliary Care Agency Survey (DCA) was created as part of CQCs response, collecting data from DCAs to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on people who use services, people who work in services and the impact on services more generally. This data was made available to Local Authorities and CCGs (among others) and we would like to understand if this data was used, and if so how. If you work in a CCG wed be grateful if you could complete this short survey Could you spare some time to talk to us? We are looking to interview representatives from Local Authorities and CCGs during November to listen to your feedback on CQCs response more generally. If you would like to speak to someone in our Research & Evaluation team, please email evaluation@cqc.org.uk Out of Sight - who cares? Weve published our report Out of Sight who cares? which looks at the use of restraint, seclusion and segregation in care services for people with a mental health condition, a learning disability or autistic people. In the report were calling for improved community-based capacity and capability across education, health and care for people with a learning disability, autistic people and or a mental health condition, after our review found undignified and inhumane care in some hospital settings providing complex care. In a new blog Kevin Cleary, Deputy Chief Inspector for hospitals and lead for mental health, and Debbie Ivanova, Deputy Chief Inspector for adult social care, discuss our findings. For more information and to download the full report visit our website. Help shape our approach to regulation At the Care Quality Commission it's important that we develop the way we work in partnership with providers and people who work in health and social care services.
We do this through a variety of ways, including coproduction groups, surveys, focus groups, webinars and through a dedicated digital engagement platform.
It's important to us that this engagement is as representative as possible of the variety of professionals who work across the range of service types in primary medical and dental services.
To help us do that we're collecting expressions of interest to be involved in our engagement and coproduction work in the future. If you'd like to be part of this work please share your details in this short form. All CQC offices are closed Please do not send post - visit our website for details on how to contact us.
