Tried and Tested Policies and Procedures
Please take a minute to read the feedback received from Debbie Davies at First Choice Community Support Services
W&Ps Care Policies and Procedures have saved me a vast amount of time and money. They have proven to be a sound investment and have ensured that our company is in a very strong position with regard to immediate compliance with the new CQC outcomes and regulations.
I have received positive feedback from the local authorities we contract with on the quality of the content within the policies and procedures.
Margaret Ross-Sands is a very knowledgeable person on care matters and has been most helpful in assisting me with any changes that I required to ensure that the policies and procedures fitted in with First Choice's existing ways of working. I receive regular updates from Margaret and have been genuinely impressed with the professionalism of W&P.
I also purchased the complete set of Medicine Management forms. I cannot praise W&P enough for the quality of this comprehensive set of forms. Administration of medication in the community requires strict management to reduce the risk of errors. The feedback from care staff has been very good. They find the procedures easy to follow and this inevitably leads to fewer medication errors.
I highly recommend W&P to any care company, large or small. I doubt if you will find a better partner to assist in the minefield that is CQC compliance.
