NEW CQC REGISTRATION REGISTRATION CHANGES

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has recently implemented significant changes to its registration assessment process, introduced within the past two weeks. It’s crucial to note that the new approach for application submission is now in effect.

Hellocare Consulting, a prominent care consulting company with a 99.9% success rate in CQC registrations, has taken the initiative to update its processes and policy documents to align with CQC compliance procedures and the new approach to registrations and inspections.

Some of the changes include:

1. The online registration questions now include Quality Statements that care providers must understand and provide written evidence in the application to demonstrate knowledge.
2. The new online registration process (CQC portal) may now require 1.5-2 hours, compared to the previous 30 minutes to complete the application.
