We support healthcare organisations in navigating the complex landscape of healthcare regulations and standards, benchmarking against CQC standards and supporting international providers entering the UK market.

Clinical governance is essential for maintaining and improving the quality of care provided by healthcare organisations. HLTH Group offers tailored Clinical Governance Support to international providers, helping them implement and maintain robust governance frameworks based on the CQC’s 7 Pillars of Clinical Governance:

CQC-Standard Audits of International Services
We understand that across the world, the Care Quality Commission is often seen as the high-standard for healthcare compliance regulation. As healthcare regulations continue to develop in many parts of the world, the CQC is often seen as the regulator against which to benchmark the compliance performance of individual providers, and the template for developing regulatory frameworks.
For international providers aiming to meet or exceed CQC standards, HLTH Group offers CQC-Standard Audits that mirror the rigorous processes of actual CQC inspections. These audits provide:
- On-Site Assessments: Conducted by former CQC inspectors who have an understanding of localised challenges across multiple regions across the world. Our audits identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement, offering a clear path to compliance.
- Indicative Ratings: Post-audit, we provide indicative ratings to help you gauge your current compliance status and focus on areas needing enhancement.
- Detailed Recommendations:
We deliver actionable feedback, helping you implement changes that not only meet CQC standards but also elevate your overall quality of care.
