The leading provider of professional services to the UK’s private healthcare industry, Designated Medical, is delighted to announce the launch of its CQC Consultancy Service, which will support private healthcare practitioners and clinics with CQC registration, and all aspects of compliance.
The new CQC Consultancy Service will provide expert advice and guidance to healthcare practitioners, including consultants and GPs, navigating the often challenging regulations and requirements set by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), from registration to developing policies and procedures, and implementing best practices to ensure compliance with CQC standards.
This latest service will enable Designated Medical to provide a fully end-to-end consultancy to private healthcare practitioners, encompassing services that include Accountancy, Marketing, Medical PAs and Billing.
Jane Braithwaite, Founder and CEO of Designated Medical, said: “We are excited to launch our CQC Consultancy Service, which will ensure that private healthcare practitioners, like consultants and GPs, and clinics have access to the expert knowledge, support and strategies needed to navigate the complex CQC landscape successfully, allowing them to focus on their patients and delivering the highest standards of care.

“At Designated Medical, we are dedicated to helping our healthcare clients, and the addition of this new service will ensure that in 2025 we reinforce our position as the leading provider of professional services to the UK’s private healthcare sector, and become the ‘one-stop shop’ for healthcare practitioners.”
