Minimal. We work around care delivery, just like CQC would — observing, talking to staff and reviewing records without getting in the way.
Typically a full day on site for a single location, with your written report and action plan following within days.
An indicative rating against each key question, a plain-English report of what we found and a prioritised action plan with owners and dates.
We recommend it. The goal is learning, not catching people out — teams that know why we are there get more from the day.
As close as we can make it. We use CQC’s current framework and methods, so nothing on inspection day should come as a surprise.
