Transparency

In our transparency section we provide helpful information about DHC as well as regulatory information we are obliged to make available to the public.

For example, we publish information about our quality and safety record, policies and patient surveys.

We are rated 'Good' by the Care Quality Commission


We are delighted that DHC received a rating of ‘Good’ in all aspects of the inspection across DHC Outpatients, Community Medical Team and Improved Access Services in general practice.

Equality, Inclusion & Diversity (EID)

We believe our strength comes from the differences in who we are and how we think. Diversity and inclusion starts at the top of our organisation with the DHC Board of Directors which includes individuals with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, skills, and perspectives.

DHC is committed to ensuring that EID is embedded across our organisation for staff, patients, carers and visitors. The Summary Reports below details our implementation of the Equality Delivery System.

To ensure that we continually improve implementing equality and diversity, our policies and processes are under regular review via dedicated EID working groups.

AI Transcription Scribes

AI transcription scribes are being used by some of our clinicians to allow them to focus more on patients. The AI scribe listens to the conversation between clinician and patient and automatically takes notes. Our clinicians review the notes and make healthcare decisions in the usual way. The recording is deleted once the notes have been transferred to the medical record. Patients can choose to opt out if they are not comfortable with the use of an AI scribe. This technology adheres to UK data privacy regulations and NHS standards.
