Testimonials

RCPA offer valuable information to our organisation.

Care Home Manager

After being a Registered manager and a director of a previous company, due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to restart a new company. Re-registering as an RCPA member and being on this platform kept us up to date and aware of changes in Health and Social care e.g. Digitalisation, DSPT, CQC, Local Authority, Procurement, Budget etc. When one goes through that dark experience in life of losing a company, which was my experience, it can be so isolating, however, I can’t thank you enough because attending events and managers’ forums and having health and social care updates helped in rebuilding of our new service and CQC preparation. We are now CQC registered. Therefore, we have decided to renew membership, because RCPA is worth it, accommodating, helpful, and fit for purpose
