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 3-4 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 plus VAT for a two surgery practice location and
£75 plus VAT per additional surgery. A report will be
dispatched 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 consists of three units:

• Clinical Package including Information Governance and Working with Patients
• 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.

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 as well as achieving valuable CPD!

All three units, Clinical Package, Health & Safety Package and Radiation Protection Service can be purchased individually.

Clinical Package £420 plus VAT for a 3 year contract

Health & Safety Package £210 plus VAT for a 3 year contract

Radiation Protection Service (including RPA and MPE) £210 plus VAT for a 3 year contract

You can purchase all three units together saving £210 plus VAT for £630 plus VAT which equates to only £17.50 plus VAT per month over 3 years for peace of mind. If you have already purchased any of the other units the remaining units are available at £210 plus VAT each.
