CQC Inspections

CQC (Care Quality Commission) inspections assess health and social care providers in England, such as hospitals, clinics, and care homes. They evaluate whether services are safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well-led. Inspections include checking staff training, safety policies, patient experiences, and management systems. The aim is to ensure high-quality, safe care for patients and service users. After an inspection, providers receive reports with ratings ranging from outstanding to inadequate, helping people make informed choices and encouraging continuous improvement in care standards.
