Written by a senior CQC inspector with extensive experience, Reducing Risk in Health and Social Care delves into the crucial aspect of safety, emphasizing the consistent and effective identification and mitigation of everyday risks specific to the service type. Recognizing the importance of this topic, the CQC has introduced a new approach focused on risk, and this book is the first to incorporate the updated standards and guidelines set forth by the CQC. Drawing on her extensive expertise, Terri Salt guides readers on a journey toward excellence by sharing practical examples, best practices, and key aspects of the CQC's published guidance. By utilizing these resources, health and social care professionals can enhance their understanding and implementation of quality standards, ensuring that services provided to individuals and communities meet the highest standards of safety, effectiveness, care, responsiveness, and leadership.
