Compliance. Made clear.

It’s not just CQC. Over 70+ different laws affect the care industry.

Tap into over 30 years of health & social care management and compliance experience to support you in providing an outstanding service.

Our approach. Is different.

Our team of CQC experts, healthcare professionals, and compliance specialists deliver expert support in CQC Compliance, Regulatory Advice, and HR. We provide tailored solutions for new and established providers, partnering with providers across Case Management, Primary Care and Adult Social Care to achieve excellence.

Our support ranges from CQC registration support, policy development, guidance on governance frameworks, CQC assessment preparation, training and supporting the Nominated Individual and Registered Manager on an ongoing basis to ensure outstanding governance.

We understand the difficulties individual registered providers face when it comes to maintaining compliance in their sector.

We are different from other CQC consultancies.

We provide personalised advice and support to your individual business needs. We look holistically at all of the laws that affect your business, not just the two that give CQC their powers.

Consulting.

Every business is different. So is our approach.

We specialise in delivering tailored consulting solutions for health and social care regulated providers. With over 30+ years managing regulated services in a range of industries we know how the regulations apply individually to your business. No wasted time or money. Just advice and action that you need.

We help regulated providers make sure they are offering outstanding safe and effective care that is well-led from the top and responsive to their clients needs. We can meet with your teams throughout the year to monitor and support your governance.

We offer ad-hoc advice and mock assessment or targeted audits as needed for your service. We also offer a full range of support for initial registration with a 100% first time success rate in applications. We can support with the initial application, business plan creation, Statement of Purpose creation and the submission of all documents to CQC. We can also support in preparing your registered manager for their interview.

Retained & Ongoing Support.

Custom solution to help you maintain your high standards.

Our retained consultancy service is for providers who want, but cannot justify the cost of a full-time area manager. We provide you with:

  • Your very own highly experienced consultant,

  • 4x governance meetings and reviews per annum,

  • 1x mock assessment and

  • Unlimited phone or email support throughout the year.

We also offer custom packages for anything else you might need, including audit or just ongoing access to ad-hoc advice and support.

Outsource your compliance to us and we’ll help support you in running your registered premises to the highest standard and let you focus on growing your business.

Mock Assessment & Audit.

CQC accurate, detailed, full governance assessment.

Our assessments and audits are accurate to your service type and in line with the Single Assessment Framework (SAF), the current model of assessment undertaken by CQC.

We provide a holistic approach to our assessment, looking at more than just the Health and Social Care Act (Regulated Activities), and the Care Quality Commission Act.

We look at over 70+ different laws that can apply to your business and that CQC will also review. Though they do not have the power to act if they find any discrepancies in these other laws, they will forward any concerns to other relevant government agencies.

This can open your business up to further scrutiny, wasted time and money and potential financial penalties or criminal prosecutions. We make sure you’re covered.

You’ll receive a comprehensive report including recommended actions to fill any gaps. We can also help support in the implementation of any of these actions and meet with your teams to discuss the report and requirements to improve.

“Our mock inspection was very detailed and highlighted a number of areas that other CQC consultants in the past had not thought of. The recommendations were easy to follow and we have another mock inspection booked in soon to review.”

“We worked with our consultant to support us through the registration process. We had been rejected by CQC four times before our consultant reviewed our application. Once he had rewritten and submitted it, we received our registration approval in a matter of weeks.”

“Lost in the dark is all I can describe our service before we got in touch with CQC Consultants. Their retained consultancy has been very helpful as we navigate CQC regulations in a very specialised industry and don’t fit in the standard CQC service type framework.”
