‘Regulatory intervention is gaining speed and strength - the NHS is not exempt’
Given the focus on changing the culture of the NHS, improving leadership and delivering on quality rather than targets, effective legal advice is more important than ever.
Regulatory intervention is gaining speed and strength.
The NHS is not exempt.
NHS hospitals need a simple but effective approach to address regulatory and operational compliance.
To succeed NHS hospitals need to:
- Take all criticism seriously.
- Respond quickly and thoroughly.
- Prioritise action needed and investigate early.
- Arrive at an answer: are the criticisms justified or not?
- Address any failings and challenge unmerited allegations robustly.
