Evidence improvement in the quality of clinical and residential care

One of the many challenges for healthcare organisations is to ensure you’re doing as much as you can to provide the highest quality care, which is why improvement programmes continue to be so crucial. And when you’re embarking on an improvement journey, you need to know you’re on the right trajectory - focusing on all those areas which need attention. 

That’s where we make the difference. As a leading external health and social care assurance and accreditation service – CHKS - we draw on over 25 years’ experience working in the UK, Europe and beyond to offer independent accreditation and improvement programmes which support you to enhance and improve productivity, performance, patient experience and outcomes. 

Tailored to all aspects of healthcare provision, from acute hospitals and care homes to specific services such as radiotherapy, addiction treatment and maternity, our programmes are driven by healthcare and quality experts who guide and support you in improving patient care, addressing key challenges such as risk management and clinical effectiveness.

And, having worked with clients in 15 countries, we understand the cultural differences and complexities of various healthcare systems and economies, bringing together international guidance and best practice to ensure you’re working towards the highest international quality standards.

The result? You’ll be able to evidence, safe, high quality care to your patients, Board and external regulators. And not only will you have credible, independent recognition of your commitment to quality, but many organisations also report a culture of pride in the quality of service and a greater sense of ownership, with employees feeling they can influence their role in the organisation.
