Medicine management is one of the Health and Care Standards we look at during our inspections. Over several years we have reported a variety of issues with medicines management in our individual inspection reports and annual reports.
Today (28 September) we have published our annual report for 2021-2022. Our report summarises all activity, including the inspection of NHS and independent healthcare services. The report identifies sustained pressure on emergency care, staffing concerns, risks around managing patient safety and the accessibility of face-to-face appointments.
