CQC Job Title

Question:

Our query is that with CQC coming into force, the title of Practice Manager is dispute. One of our Dentists has taken on the role of Manager of the CQC programme, but I will be continuing with my Practice Managers duties. CQC seem to have problems differentiating between Dental Practice Managers and Medical/Nursing Home Practice Managers. My Dentist is concerned as to what my title should be, would it be wrong in being called Practice Manager or is there another title to be used.

Answer:

You can be called what you like. I would suggest you stay Practice Manager and the dentist is Clinical Manager, or you could be Development Manager or similar while he is Operational Manager.
