CQC policies & procedures for menopause and women's health clinics

The documents a menopause or women's health service needs to register with the CQC and evidence safe, well-led care - the prescribing governance, the clinical protocols and the risk assessments, written for a service that works remotely.

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
A menopause service carries three regulatory duties at the same time: remote prescribing, off-label prescribing and a Schedule 4 Part 2 controlled drug. Testosterone is where all three meet, so it is where the governance has to be strongest. This pack covers that properly, alongside the clinical protocols, the red flag pathway and the advertising position every online hormone service needs.

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

Why the women's health & menopause clinic pack

Testosterone done properly
Controlled drug safeguards, off-label consent and a monitoring schedule with explicit stop rules - a policy, an SOP, a risk assessment and a consent form, not a paragraph.
Written for remote care
Identity verification, what cannot be managed remotely, GP communication including when the patient declines it, and emergency escalation with no physical location.
Red flags that do not get missed
Unscheduled bleeding on HRT is triaged against the 2024 national pathway, with risk factors and named timescales, because a delayed cancer diagnosis is the worst foreseeable outcome in this service.
Clinically current
Built on NICE NG23, British Menopause Society guidance and the MHRA advertising rules, with a review section in every document for your annual review.
