CQC Audits

If you are one of the 8500 GP practices in England, you should have started getting to grips with all of the required standards for CQC and putting procedures in place to ensure that you are able to demonstrate compliance.

Although GP practice registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has been deferred until April 2013, there is still work you can do now to ensure you are fully prepared.

How can we help you?

One of the required standards to be met is Outcome 10; Safety and Suitability of Premises, but what does this actually mean and what do you need to be doing?

With a number of standards to comply with for CQC, you may not have the time or the expertise to effectively analyse the current situation with your GP practice premises or have full knowledge about the regulations and legal requirements which need to be met at your doctors surgery.

We are able to undertake a full audit of your GP premises and work with you to help get up to the required standards to meet Objective 10 for CQC. We can help ensure you meet current regulations and suggest improvements in relation to the design and layouts, security of premises and grounds, and maintenance.

• Extensions
• Alterations and Refurbishments
