All of the experts delivering content for ACQC have been registered Managers or trainers with extensive experience in the care sector. You can be confident they understand where you’re at.

Hi, I’m Paula
I’m a Registered Nurse experienced in many aspects of social care. I have been where you’re at! I have extensive leadership experience as a Registered Manager, Regional Manager, unit lead, and a night nurse. I have worked in small and large Social Care organisations as well as being quality monitoring officer for a large NHS CCG . Where I was working alongside CQC, LA and commissioning colleagues.
I enjoy helping people grow in their knowledge and confidence, especially when it relates to CQC compliance and quality improvement.
Many providers, managers and seniors often have the same questions around the quality statements, so I have produced 34 videos that you can access 24/7.
There are live and recorded webinars where you can get your questions answered, or buy a more comprehensive support package delivered by someone experienced in your field.
This is your one stop quality box where you can receive affordable non judgemental advice.
Take a look around the site and if you have any questions use the contact button to get in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Guest videos will be uploaded ad hoc for members to have a new face and different topics from time to time.
