What are the risks involved for the implementation of End of life service in Community setting?

The hospice involved the Care Quality Commission to ensure regulatory compliance when accepting without undertaking full employment processes. It was agreed that the hospice should receive a sponsoring letter from the secondee’s line manager before each nurse’s secondment. The letter should confirm that each nurse had been recruited appropriately, was professionally qualified with current registration and had up-to-date Criminal Records Bureau checks. Each secondee’s received short induction on housekeeping and safety on their first day to ensure safety and well-being.
