How do your mock inspections compare to a real CQC visit?
We specialise in primary care, dental practices, independent medical clinics, and online services. Whether you are preparing for your first registration or an upcoming inspection, we tailor our mock inspections and audits to your specific quality statements.
Our mock inspections mimic the real CQC process to give you an accurate picture of your readiness. A typical inspection includes:
-
Pre-inspection document review (policies, training records, governance files).
-
On-site or virtual audit of your premises, equipment, and processes.
-
Staff and leadership interviews to assess CQC awareness.
-
A detailed action plan mapping findings directly to CQC regulations with prioritised, practical recommendations.
On-site visits typically take 1 full day depending on the size and complexity of your service. Following the visit, you will receive a comprehensive, actionable report and compliance roadmap within 5 days.
Yes. Identifying gaps is only the first step. We offer ongoing support to help you draft missing policies, update risk assessments, train staff, and implement robust governance systems to ensure long-term compliance.
Our audits are conducted using current CQC inspection frameworks, single assessment principles, and evidence categories. We look at your service through the eyes of an inspector, identifying risks, safety gaps, and documentation errors before the CQC does.
