Care Quality Assessment System Study

We've been asked to share details of an assessment study (see below) for any of our members who wish to be involved.  Please contact Dr Shagalov directly regarding this study.

********************************************************

I am a research associate at the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre, LSE. I am going to apply for funding with my research project proposal. It is focused on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the care quality assessment system in England, regulated by the CQC. I am interested in exploring how care homes respond to the system requirements designed to ensure the quality of care.

Before applying, I would like to discuss the research programme of the project with care providers and professionals to get valuable comments on my study. I know you are collaborating with various care providers. Could you please tell me if you can help me to organise the discussions? For instance, circulating the invitation for the care home managers and care professionals to join the discussion of the research project. I would appreciate any help on that matter.

Kind regards,

Dr Igor Shagalov
