Episode 20 - How to Keep Health & Social Care Policies Practical and Used

In this episode of ComplyPlus™ Presents, Lewis Normoyle sits down with Dr Richard Dune to explore why detailed policies often fail to improve everyday care. They discuss how policies can look impressive on paper but still leave services exposed during CQC inspections because they are outdated, generic, or simply not used.

Together, they explain what makes a policy useful, usable, and used and why clarity, accessibility, and regular reinforcement are essential for success. The discussion shares real examples of common pitfalls, from tick-box exercises to missing training links, and offers practical strategies to embed policies into induction, supervision, and daily routines.

This conversation provides clear, actionable insights to help any health and social care provider turn policies into living tools that drive safe, consistent, and high-quality care
