Article summary

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has announced a fast-track interim process for granting practising privileges to consultants in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The interim process enables consultants to start working immediately in hospitals where they do not have practising privileges already. Consultants are required to provide the registered manager of the independent sector hospital a declaration that gives assurance on key points. The CQC has published guidance on the matter which only applies to providers included within the NHS COVID-19 collaboration contract.
