("Totally", the "Company" or the "Group")
CQC upgrade service ratings in all three services in
Staffordshire
Royal Stoke UCC uplifted by a highly unusual two ratings
Significant improvement in Vocare services since acquisition
Totally plc (AIM:TLY), the provider of a range of
out-of-hospital services to the healthcare sector in the UK, is
delighted to announce that its Royal Stoke Urgent Care Centre, part
of the Vocare group ("Vocare"), has recently been rated as 'Good'
overall following an inspection by the Care Quality Commission
("CQC").
In an almost unprecedented move, Vocare has improved the Royal
Stoke Urgent Care Centre ("UCC") service by two CQC ratings in six
months, moving it from 'Inadequate' to 'Good'. It also improved the
rating of both the GP Out of Hours ("OOH") and NHS 111 services to
'Good', meaning that Staffordshire is now rated 'Good' across the
board.
Following the rerating, Totally is pleased to confirm that there
are now no longer any 'Inadequate' ratings across the entirety of
the Vocare group's 24 services.
Vocare Limited, one of the UK's leading national specialist
providers of urgent care services, is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Totally and manages NHS 111, GP Out of Hours and Urgent Care Centre
services for Staffordshire from the Central Region's Head Office
called Staffordshire House .
Wendy Lawrence, CEO of Totally, said:
"We are extremely pleased that the work carried out to make
significant improvements to Vocare's services at UCC North
Staffordshire, since its previous inspection in April, has been
duly recognised by the CQC. The team is incredibly proud of the
service they offer and this upgrade is testament to their continued
determination to improve and provide the best possible service.
"The upgrade of the Royal Stoke UCC marks a significant
milestone for the Company as it now means that we no longer carry
any 'Inadequate' CQC ratings. This highlights the considerable and
tangible progress that Vocare has made to all of its services in
just one year since its acquisition in October 2017. These
fantastic results demonstrate the Company's ability to integrate
its subsidiaries and ensure that they deliver on the Group's
ambitions of becoming a leading provider of out-of-hospital care
and the partner of choice for the NHS."
Bob Holt, Chairman of Totally said:
"The upgrade on all performance measures is a testament to
Wendy, our CEO, and the senior management team's ability to provide
the necessary leadership and expertise to ensure we provide quality
care and services. The Board and I would like to thank all the
staff members for their continued efforts. Our partnership with the
NHS continues to provide value for money and improved services to
patients and service users."
