CQC policies & risk assessments for weight-loss clinics

A compliance set built for modern weight-management and GLP-1 prescribing services - covering safe prescribing, screening, informed consent and eating-disorder safeguarding.

Written by founders Claire Barker & Aaron Scott — who have registered and run their own CQC-regulated clinics
Kept up to date as CQC guidance changes, with a plain-English note on what changed
If a file is faulty or not as described, we'll fix it or refund it
In short
The rapid growth of GLP-1 prescribing (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide) has put weight-loss services firmly in the regulatory spotlight. This pack gives you the policies and risk assessments that demonstrate safe patient selection, screening and prescribing - the questions a CQC inspector will ask first.

Weight Loss Clinic — CQC Application Pack

Every supporting document on CQC's published list for a weight loss clinic, and nothing you don't need yet. CQC's own application forms and statement of purpose template are free from CQC and are not included, because we do not sell a regulator's forms or templates.

Optional add-on · we complete your documents for you

Bespoke Tailoring Service

Buying the documents still leaves you the job of filling them in. Answer one questionnaire about your weight loss clinic and we write your organisation, your role titles, your local contacts and your policy decisions into every document — then send the finished set back within 5 working days.

  • ✓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
  • ✓Your local escalation contacts and out-of-hours arrangements inserted

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
