Do you need to have a filled in form ( not discharge ) when I support a service user to the doctor or hospital to be CQC compliant ? – Maria
Dear Maria,
Yes, you should undertake a risk assessment before escorting someone to appointments.
This can be part of the care plan or if it only happens very occasionally then it would be a one off risk assessment.
If you are a QCS customer, the Customer Care Team can help you build a bespoke risk assessment within your QCS system, just give them a call.
Best wishes.
Sheila
