No but you are welcome to join the webinar. I’ll be talking about healthcare generally and not about particular Trusts.

Certainly sounds interesting, and I plan to come along. Will even read ISO 7101: 2023 by then!

The NHS trust in question presumably hasn’t sought actual certification – I think only one hospital so far has successfully done that (Hospital Puebla, Mexico).

If you ever come across any info about the difference it’s made at that hospital, I’d love to hear.

I see one org has just brought out an ISO 7101: 2023 Documentation Kit, with all kinds of customisable manuals, SOPs, checklists et al. Costs $899.

I think I remember you once saying that ISO 7101 is most likely to get used as a helpful general guide. Most healthcare orgs won’t actually go for the full certification?

Yes, certification only if it’s mandated. Much to expensive. The CQC could design their own version of an external audit but I’ll not hold my breath. Any off the shelf guide, like some of the noddy software solutions, will be a waste of money and time.
