    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Poor medical knowledge among private medical staff

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) The regulation of the private company by the CQC provided false security as to what was in fact being regulated. The only activity that was regulated was transport from the rave in an ambulance on a public road, which activity was not in fact needed because Rio was handed over to the London Ambulance Service outside the venue. The level of medical knowledge displayed by the private medical staff was poor. The exemption for temporary arrangements means that the provision of medical assistance at events is entirely unregulated. This includes not only illegal raves, but legal events such as sporting events, fetes and festivals. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to ensure the suitability of mentors for trainee medical staff

    Wider context from the report

    “(3) Individuals undergoing training at Lifeskills UK Ltd (and possibly other private training providers) are left to find their own mentor(s) without checks being made by the company as to their suitability or any register or panel from which the choice can be made. ”
