If a file is faulty or not as described, we'll fix it or refund it
In short
Private clinics carry the same regulatory weight as any other CQC-registered provider.

  • ✓A sector-specific questionnaire covering everything your documents need
  • ✓Your organisation name, addresses, contact details and registration numbers written into every document
  • ✓Role titles set to your structure, so policies do not need reissuing when staff change

Optional service · CQC’s statement of purpose template and both CQC forms, completed for you

CQC Application Completion Service

CQC's statement of purpose template and both CQC forms completed for you: the provider registration application and the registered manager application. All three are free from CQC and you submit them yourself - we would never sell you a regulator's form or template. What we sell is the work of completing all three so they say the same thing, which is the consistency CQC tests hardest. Returned within 10 working days for you to check and submit.

  • ✓CQC’s statement of purpose template completed for you: your aims, regulated activities, each location, service type and the needs of the people who use it
  • ✓The provider registration application completed, in the wording CQC expects
  • ✓The registered manager application completed alongside it, because CQC cannot process yours without it
  • ✓A working session to gather what all three documents need, including your regulated activities and locations
