Navigating Practice Partnerships & Safety Standards in Primary Care

Navigating Practice Partnerships & Safety Standards in Primary Care

This module explores the governance, compliance and health and safety responsibilities of Practice Managers, helping participants understand the requirements involved in maintaining a safe, compliant and well-managed primary care environment. It recognises the wide range of legal, regulatory and operational responsibilities that Practice Managers must oversee to ensure their practices operate effectively and meet the necessary standards.

The module will explore different practice structures, including partnerships, mergers, federations and contract types, alongside key governance requirements such as Performers List obligations, partnership and premises agreements, clinician revalidation, insurance and CQC registration. Participants will also develop their understanding of health and safety responsibilities, including risk assessments, COSHH, infection prevention and waste management.

The session will consider the practical aspects of maintaining a safe working environment, covering equipment maintenance and calibration, PAT testing, fire safety, first aid, accident reporting and RIDDOR. It will also explore contractor management, business continuity and disaster recovery planning, helping delegates understand how to identify risks, maintain compliance and prepare for unexpected events.

Objective:

Participants will develop a clear understanding of the governance, legal, regulatory and health and safety responsibilities associated with managing a primary care practice. They will gain greater confidence in overseeing practice structures and compliance requirements, managing workplace risks and maintaining appropriate health and safety procedures. The module will also help delegates understand the importance of business continuity and disaster recovery planning in supporting a safe, compliant and resilient primary care environment.
