Care Quality Commission - Duty of candour guidance
The intention of this regulation is to ensure that providers are open and transparent with people who use services in relation to care and treatment. It also sets out some specific requirements that providers must follow when things go wrong with care and treatment.
NHS Standard Contract
The NHS Standard Contract includes a National Quality Requirement for Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) risk assessment. This requirement mandates that 95% of inpatients aged 16 and over admitted to a hospital be risk-assessed for VTE on admission each month.
