Five Questions Is it safe? Is it effective? Is it caring? Is it responsive to people’s needs? Is it well led?
By safe …. People are protected from physical, psychological or emotional hard
By effective …. people’s needs are met and their care is in line with nationally recognised guidelines and relevant NICE quality standards
By caring …. people are treated with compassion, respect and dignity and that care is tailored to their needs Compassion in Care Care Compassion Competence Communication Courage Commitment
By responsive … People get the treatment and care at the right time, without excessive delay and that they are listened to in a way that responds to their needs and concerns
Bt well led … There is effective leadership, governance (corporate and clinical) and clinical involvement at all levels and an open, fair and transparent culture that listens and learns from people’s views and experiences to make improvements
