Congratulations you have worked hard and achieved your CQC Registration as a provider. You have celebrated achieving this milestone. You could now be wondering what next? You are not alone. Many new providers find themselves in a pickle after achieving CQC registration. Being registered by the CQC as a provider and registered manager is just the start of your journey. You need to have many competencies to move forward your care business and balance competing interests. There are many post CQC registration challenges such as finding care hours, tenders, dealing with commissioners, brokerage teams, delayed payments, and navigating through all regulations and legislations.
As a new CQC registered provider, you cannot afford to have one foot wrong with people's care, as this can result in catastrophic consequences. You can easily find yourselves involved in a major safeguarding enquiry or even in front of the coroner. Being on the CQC registeras a provider and manager comes with many responsibilities, after all you are committing to be caring for others.
You also cannot afford to neglect employees' needs and rights as this, too, can have an adverse effect on your care business, such as ending up at the employment tribunal. Bad leadership and management can cause an adverse rection from employees such as high turn over and grievances.
In today's word of social media or where individuals and families use recording facilities, there is always a chance you can court bad publicity that can destroy your care business and reputation.
Skills, attitudes, and what to do as a new provider
Running a care business can be challenging and can easily take over your life. This is mainly as a result of new businesses wanting to grow fast or over promising services they can not deliver. You can easily introduce stress in your life if you are not careful and do not make smart decisons. There is no need to spend money on unnecessary resources that do not bring value to your services. There is no need accepting care calls that do not make business sense especially if they are too geographically spaced. You do not have to accept unsafe business practices as the normal such as over working. Sometimes quality s the way to go over quantity.
As a new CQC registered provider, you need to be reflective and know your areas of strengths and development. You do not need to be seeking help for things you already know, understand, competent, and have experience. Focus will need to be on areas of development to ensure that any lack of skills will not affect your dream of running a great care business that will make a difference to people's lives. Consideration of shadowing, further training should always be on the menu to improve your leadership and management of your newly cqc registered business.
