Clinical Governance
Is your practice compliant?
Your compliance with Clinical Governance will be
questioned
with
the introduction of the Care Quality
Commission,
HTM 01–05 and
the increase in PCT
practice inspections.
Would you like to know
how
you would fare when your
practice is inspected?
The DBG Clinical Governance Audit
The DBG Clinical Governance Audit is the all important
experience of a practice audit visit
rather than the reliance
on a self audit which can lead to a false sense of compliance.
The audit is designed to give you reassurance that you have
fulfilled your obligations.
The areas the DBG audit are:
- Your premises including access, facilities, security,
fire precautions, third parties and business continuity - Information Governance including Freedom of
Information Act, manual and computerised records,
Data Protection and security - Training, documentation and certificates
- Radiography including IRR99 and
IR(ME)R2000 compliance - Cross infection and decontamination including
HTM01–05 compliance and surgery audits - Medical emergencies including resuscitation, drugs,
equipments and protocols - Waste disposal and documentation and storage
- Practice policies and written procedures.
The audit will take 2–3 hours of your Practice
Manager’s
time depending on the number of
surgeries.We will require
access to all areas
of your practice and the audit will cost
£375
for a two surgery practice location and £75 per
additional surgery. A report will be despatched
to you
confirming the results of our audit.
If you have an inspection imminent then we suggest
that
you
arrange your DBG audit at least one month before
the
inspection to allow you time to carry out any
recommendations.
The DBG Clinical Governance Package
Following the audit you may wish to have access to the DBG
Clinical Governance Package
with on-line compliance manuals.
The Clinical Governance Package consist of three units:
- Clinical Package
- Health & Safety Package
- Radiation Protection Service (including RPA and MPE).
Thousands of DBG members already use the DBG Health &
Safety Package and the DBG
Radiation Protection Service.
The Clinical unit covers all other areas of clinical compliance.
As well as being able to complete compliance documentation
you are also kept up to date
with changes in legislation and
provided with ongoing support and advice.
All three, Clinical Package, Health & Safety Package and
Radiation Protection Service can be purchased
individually
at £210 each for
a
three year contract. The cost of
the total,
all three,
equates to £17.50 per month
for peace of mind.
