CQC Resources
One 30-minute session a month, Thursday lunchtimes, to keep you up to date, informed, and clear on how the CQC process actually works. Six parts, start to finish — and short enough to take at your desk.

What's up next
One topic, half an hour, no filler. Registration closes 24 hours before the session, or as soon as places run out.
The small, quiet things that sink an application — vague wording, thin evidence, a Statement of Purpose that doesn't match the form.
Doors open in
Free to attend. Zoom link sent once we confirm your place.
The full series
Thursday lunchtimes at 1pm. Follow the series in order for the whole process end to end, or book the single session you need.

What CQC expects of your location and the document pack behind it, from floor plans and IPC through to Schedule 3 files.
Financial viability, fees and the numbers CQC actually looks at — and what a credible business plan needs to show.
The Registered Manager and Nominated Individual interview: the questions that come up, and what a strong answer sounds like.
Getting registered is the start. What has to keep running afterwards, and what the first inspection will look for.
Registering
Places are checked by hand so we can keep the sessions small enough for real questions.
Tell us who you are, your service type and which session you want. It takes about a minute.
Your enquiry lands with our team. We check capacity and confirm by email, usually within one working day.
You get the joining link plus a calendar invite, then a reminder the morning of the session.
On demand
Register anyway. Every session is recorded.
The recording and the slides go out the morning after each session to everyone who registered, whether you made it live or not. Past sessions will be listed here as the series runs.
If your application is already in motion, a pre-submission review will get you further than a webinar will.
