The CQC will be back on site next Wednesday 23 March to run two further focus groups for colleagues (which will last no more than an hour each).

• There will be a session for junior doctors (any non-consultant grade) at 10am at each site (Venues: CRH Lecture Theatre, HRI venue tbc)
• Then at 11am at each site there will be an open session for any colleague who may not yet have had chance to take part (Venues: CRH Lecture Theatre, HRI venue tbc)

This will conclude the Trust’s planned inspection, though please remember that the CQC can conduct unannounced inspections at any time if colleagues or the public raise concerns with them.

We only found out yesterday (Wednesday 16 March) that this was the date they wanted to hold the sessions, so as yet we still need to arrange a venue for HRI.

We’ll make sure that colleagues are informed through important notices on the home page and the CQC intranet page.

Please take the opportunity to take part if you are able to – it’s important that they get as many views from colleagues as possible.
