National Compliance Solution
Have you heard about the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2021?
If you work in primary care, you need to know about them, and you need to comply with them. These mandatory standards are in addition to the regulations followed by the CQC.
The global pandemic has made us all think again about levels of cleanliness. The National Standards offer a way forward; a benchmark that all healthcare settings can be measured against. In addition, the standards create a culture of continuous improvement across all healthcare.
There are five mandatory requirements in the standards including documentation, audits and frameworks. NHS England and Improvement have stated that these apply to all primary care settings as well as acute Trusts.
It’s expected that compliance to the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness will form part of CQC inspections going forward, and the clock is already ticking to become compliant.
