Care Home Management’s series of Care Show London special podcasts continues with an interview with Nicole Ridgwell, partner at law firm Lester Aldridge and a specialist in health and social care law.

She explains how increased enforcement activity by CQC, including around inquests, means care homes require robust legal support.

Nicole outlines how care providers have been affected by the difficult rollout of CQC’s Single Assessment Framework which has encountered issues with the framework design and its practical application, leading to rollback and delays.

She provides important advice for care homes as the sector waits for new documents to be published.

Nicole talks about the significant rise in enforcement action around inquests and why it is therefore crucial care homes have robust and clearly presented records.
