Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already being tested in health and care settings – from monitoring technologies to admin support tools – and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has begun shaping its approach to AI regulation. While a full CQC AI strategy is still emerging, providers need to start thinking now about how AI could affect compliance, safety, and inspection.
This webu=inar will help social care providers explore what AI means for them , based on the latest guidance from CQC and the AI & Digital Regulations Service (AIDRS).
What you’ll learn and do:
- Current context: What CQC and partners have said so far about AI use in health and care
- Provider responsibilities: How AI links to existing compliance requirements (governance, safety, consent, data protection)
- Practical exercise: Mapping where AI or “AI-like” tools are already in use (e.g. monitoring, rostering, decision support)
- Risk and assurance: Simple steps to document oversight, risk management and safe use – useful if asked by CQC
- Future-proofing: Questions to ask suppliers now about AI-enabled products and data handling
- Group discussion: How providers can share experiences and prepare together for inspection and regulation
