C.Q.C.
A question about the C.Q.C. is not standard but certainly will not be out of the ordinary at a consultant interview
five domains of quality control
These appear to have arisen from a revamp of the CQC (Care Quality Commission) inspection frameworks in 2015.
The five domains into which the CQC channels its inspection of quality are as follows :
Safety
Effectiveness
Caring
Responsiveness
Leadership
Ben Pearson’s blog on an NHS website describes a 7x5=35 matrix to cross-breed these 5 domains against the 7 ‘pillars’ - not my preferred term - of clinical governance.
