Addictions Counselling Foundation Degree, 2012-13
PCP are a CQC-registered, established, quasi-residential
treatment centre that offers clients the best possible
treatment at affordable rates. We have been established
for seven years in Luton and three years in Chelmsford,
with other centres due to open in 2012.
PCP facilitates detox and takes clients through the abstinence-based,
12-step program of recovery in a twelve week period we call primary
care. Our secondary care, which is a further twelve week program,
offers our clients integration into society through education, charity
work, re-entering the family home, rehousing and additional therapy.
After clients graduate from PCP they will have a year’s aftercare package
free of charge available to them. PCP also meets the needs of family
members through monthly workshops and therapy sessions. Our prices
start from £450 per week.

RECOVER AT PCP
Be Prepared – CQC compliance
14 March 2012, Central London
CQC have recently changed the way they inspect residential and community-based
services. Following a pilot scheme, they are initially intending to focus on a small
number of outcomes in their inspections, but will be doing so in more depth. Their
new method of inspecting means that they will be spending more time speaking
with or observing service users and their care and treatment. They will also be
making all inspections unannounced!
So howcan you be prepared for your next inspection?The coursewill showyou how
to look in depth at specific outcomes yourself; and how to ensure that you have the
right evidence available to demonstrate your service’s compliance to CQC. The course
will also look at what to expect and how to respond on the day of the inspection.
For substance misuse services this will be the first inspection under the new
registration criteria, and for many newly-registered services their first experience
of being regulated. For this reason it is especially important to be well prepared.
David Finney is an independent social care consultant with a specialist interest in
the regulation of substance misuse services. He has facilitated training events
around the country. He was a senior manager with CSCI where he was the national
lead for substance misuse services.
£135 + VAT – 15% discount to FDAP members.
The course runs from 10.00 am – 4pm in central London, and includes
lunch and refreshments. For more details about these workshops email
