Regulators

As a healthcare provider we are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The CQC regulates services provided by all NHS, local authorities, private companies and voluntary organisations in England to ensure that the care provided meets certain defined standards.

Registration

We are required to register as a provider of healthcare with the CQC, who have granted us a licence to operate without any conditions attached.

• CQC Certificate of Registration

Inspections

NHS providers are required to complete self-certifications for publication which provides assurance that providers are compliant with the conditions of their NHS provider licence.

Compliance with the licence is routinely monitored through the Single Oversight Framework but, on an annual basis, the licence requires NHS providers to self-certify as to whether they have:

1. Condition G6 - effective systems to ensure compliance with the conditions of the NHS provider licence, NHS legislation and the duty to have regard to the NHS Constitution;
2. Condition FT4 - complied with governance arrangements; and
3. Condition CoS7 - for NHS foundation trusts only, the required resources available if providing commissioner requested services (CRS).
