New CQC dental FAQ service launches
12th Oct 2010
Amelia Bray: 'A major benefit to our members'
A brand new information service aimed at helping practitioners through the new Care Quality Commission registration process will launch soon.
The FAQ (frequently asked questions) service will be published on www.bdpma.org.uk.
Many BDPMA members will be heavily involved in registering with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) over the coming weeks.
All providers of primary dental care services in England that carry on regulated activities must be registered with the CQC by 1 April 2011.
To help members to prepare for registration, the BDPMA is establishing a frequently asked questions (FAQ) service about the new system.
It will work as follows:
If a BDPMA member has an enquiry about CQC registration, they can email their question to the BDPMA. If the BDPMA can provide the answer from CQC published documents or from its website, it will publish the question and the answer (with references) on the members only section of the BDPMA website.
If the BDPMA cannot find the answer, it will forward the question to the CQC and publish the question and their answer (with references) on the members only section of the BDPMA website.
As with similar agreements CQC has with other organisations, they will also share the most common questions (and the answers) they receive directly from practice managers and, again, the BDPMA will publish them on the members only section of the BDPMA website.
Over time, this will result in a comprehensive registration FAQ section on the BDPMA website which members can reference quickly and easily. The BDPMA expects to have this service in operation in the next few weeks – the latest news will be on the BDPMA website and its Facebook page.
Speaking about the new service, Amelia Bray, BDPMA Chairman, said: 'The launch of the CQC registration FAQ service will be a major benefit to our members. Not only will it provide the answers to their questions but in time the FAQ section will be a quick reference point for answers to the most commonly asked questions.'
