CQC Registration

Navigating CQC regulations can be complex. We are here to simplify the process and ensure your success.

  • CQC Registration Assistance: Comprehensive support for new providers, including document preparation and guidance throughout the registration process.

CQC Mock Inspection

Mock inspections are used by providers who want to know what to expect from a CQC inspection and areas they can improve upon before they have their inspection.

It is vital that your team understand the CQC Key Lines of Enquiry. As former CCQ Inspectors, we are ideally placed to assess whether your facility is:

  • Safe, Effective
  • Caring
  • Responsive and Well-Led

Once we’ve completed our mock inspection we will provide a CQC Style report with an action plan of all the areas for the team to work on and ensure a successful CQC inspection.

Audit Programme

Our team of experienced healthcare professionals and former CQC inspectors brings deep knowledge of best practices and regulatory requirements.

  • Initial Assessment: We evaluate your current audit practices and identify areas for improvement.
  • Staff Training: We train your team on how to conduct effective audits and use the provided tools.
  • Implementation Support: We guide you through the initial implementation phase, ensuring smooth adoption.
  • Review and Refinement: We help you analyse audit results and refine the programme for maximum effectiveness.
  • Programme Design: We create a tailored audit schedule and develop specific audit tools for your service.
  • If you’d prefer, a member of our Audit and Policy team can attend your site once a month to complete your audits for you. This will provide an objective and impartial approach to your quality audit process.
