The Care Quality Commission (CQC) closely monitors care providers to ensure that they meet safety and quality standards. One of the factors that can affect a CQC rating is manual handling. Poor manual handling can lead to injuries, non-compliance with health and safety regulations, and poor patient outcomes. These issues can directly impact your CQC inspection results.
To avoid negative effects on your CQC ratings:
Ensure that all staff are adequately trained.
Regularly audit manual handling practices to ensure compliance.
Maintain a zero-tolerance policy for unsafe practices.
By prioritising safe manual handling practices, your organisation can help ensure a positive CQC rating.
