CQC Registration
For private healthcare practitioners and clinics who wish to register with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Designated Medical offers expert, flexible and timely CQC Registration Consultancy to help navigate the complex world of registration.
Providers of Health and/or Social Care service are required to register with the CQC and provide up to date information about how their service[s] are run. As part of this registration process, providers must commit to ensuring that all aspects of their business align with relevant CQC legislation and Fundamental Standards.
Designated Medical can guide and advise providers completing paperwork for first registration, or those needing to make changes to an already registered service.
Often underestimated, the registration process is often long, complex and detailed and requires focus and commitment on the part of the provider.
Our Registration Consultancy ensures you:
- Are fully briefed on the CQC registration process and you’re aware of the key steps and timelines
- Have all the relevant documents, policies and procedures in place and that they’ve been checked by a CQC expert
- Are well prepared for your CQC registration interview(s), and you can approach them with competence and confidence
- Have reassurance that your registration is being reviewed and assessed by our expert team
CQC Compliance
For healthcare providers who have successfully achieved registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Designated Medical offers expert, flexible and timely CQC Compliance Consultancy to ensure compliance is maintained on an ongoing basis.
Getting through CQC registration is, in some respects, the most straightforward part of the CQC journey. Often overlooked and misunderstood, maintaining and strengthening what was prepared for registration is often a more difficult challenge, as compliance inspections (in comparison to pre-registration assessments) are always more thorough.
Our Compliance Consultancy ensures you:
- Don’t panic when the CQC contacts you about a future inspection (often with 2 weeks’ notice)
- Are well prepared for future CQC inspections, and you can approach them with confidence
- Have reassurance that everything is under control with expert guidance and support
- Sail through inspections and can continue to practice without time-consuming CQC interventions
