The conference will be broken into workshop groups who will be asked to review and consider an area of compliance challenge. Each group will have a CQC inspector to contribute to the discussions and debate. This is a first for CQC within Sefton and a fabulous first for the North and South Sefton Care Home Group. We must thank Phil Bartley and his inspectors for taking this time out of their busy schedule’.
