CQC National Professional Advisor, Rachel Griffiths awarded MBE
The Care Quality Commission's Mental Capacity Act Lead, Rachel Griffiths, has been awarded an MBE for services to vulnerable people in the New Year's Honours list.
Rachel has been at the CQC since 2013. Her role supports CQC in ensuring that the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) remains a key part of our strategy and policies, including our inspections. Also, Rachel represents us in working with external national bodies to help drive improvement in health and social care and she is part of the Leadership Group of the National Mental Capacity Forum.
Commenting on the award, Rachel said:
"I am very honoured to receive this award. Alongside others, the focus of my work to embed the MCA in health and social care has been to ensure the rights of people who might lack mental capacity are protected, and that they receive the best possible care and treatment, within the empowering ethos of the MCA. I see this award as recognition of the importance of that work."
