The CQC is replacing its Single Assessment Framework (SAF) following two independent reviews that fundamentally challenged its approach to regulation. The new Primary Care and Community Services draft framework reintroduces Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs) in place of quality statements, alongside a raft of structural changes that will affect how dental practices are assessed, judged, and reported on.
This session breaks down everything dental practices need to know — including issues we have raised directly with the CQC on the sector's behalf.
Led by Rhys Jones, Agilio's Head of Compliance, this essential webinar is designed to cut through the complexity of the CQC's draft assessment framework and give dental practices a clear, practical understanding of what is changing and what it means for them.
