Visiting is a crucial part of a person’s care and can play an important role in ensuring the safety of patients, with carers and family members often able to provide crucial insights and knowledge that can support diagnosis, care and treatment. A problem raised repeatedly during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly in social care settings, concerned a lack of guidance and inconsistent approaches by individual organisations to implementing visiting policies (such as in this blog on the hub: https://lnkd.in/eGUwNF85). Last year the Government announced new plans to legally make visiting a part of care, and the Care Quality Commission are now consulting on its proposed guidance to help providers and other stakeholders understand and meet the new standard on visiting and accompaniment in care homes, hospitals and hospices. The consultation closes at midday on 20 February 2024 and can be found via the hub below: https://lnkd.in/ecYCkDtP #pslhub #patientsafety #socialcare #carers #adultsocialcare #carequalitycommission #familyengagement
