Unfortunately, CQC registration is not a guarantee of quality. I can think of half a dozen private ambulance services who got their registration by ticking boxes that they are compliant, have never been inspected and are downright dangerous. In fact one of them has created files thick of paperwork from the NHS Fraud and Security and the Police. Those who have been inspected have been visited by people who inspect nursing homes and they do not understand even what the equipment carried is. One colleague had presumably an infection control nurse inspect him as she swabbed his cupboards in his ambulance - no-one else reported this, another had just his paperwork and policies looked at by a paper pusher. Reports of bad practice to the CQC have gone unactionned. Also see here http://www.bbc.co.uk/new...-staffordshire-14022968 and also take into account that they have to give you three warnings before taking away registration. CQC registration does not guarantee quality, because it is just another British Quango. Wavey, if you have a para ticket, just be a sub contractor with your own kit and own drugs and own insurance.

Familiar story. They are a bunch of none healthcare practising idiots. The only group worse than them are the nepotistic HPC. A colleague whose bread and butter is race circuit work was "severely warned" because he had no policy in place for nutrition and feeding his patients. The concept of nil by mouth is lost on a nursing home failed ward nurse used to counting inco pads in the stores and dishing out prune juice. The inspector was a jumped up little Hitler on a power trip, soon brought back down to earth after the drafting of a short letter. Not at all interested in the equipment servicing, staff training and drugs control. The CQC has only one member who has an ambulance background and he was a chief officer level, not road crew, and he is using the position to augment his pension. I met with them at their hugely expensive roadshow and they could not answer a straight question with other than "if it is a regulated activity" blah blah blah but could not state what was and what was not a regulated activity. There are many dodgy private services still operating. All they have to do is not transport to hospital (the hugest loophole you could ever imagine) and instead call out the NHS to move their patients and they don't need a registration. One set of documentation described as exemplary by one inspector, used by another service in its application, was described as woefully inadequate by some bum wiper. The ilk of CQC inspectors could only exist in the UK and the Soviet Union when the Cold War was at its coldest!

I think Ill give that a miss.  I know you from days of yore Mike, and questions about IV lucozade stick firmly within the hippocampus and cortex.

One problem for HCP's who "work" for other people is that the drugs they provide may not be drugs you have not been "signed off" to administer. The other thing is what do you do when you turn up and they haven't got any of the drugs you would be expected to use as an HCP?

I think you should get your eyes tested...  My PIN number has been with me for well over 2 months and i do not work for WMAS.
