Mock CQC Inspections
Be Ready. Be Confident. Be In Control.
CQC inspections can feel pressured and unpredictable - but they don't need to be.
At Neighbourhood Health Group, our clinically led Mock CQC inspections are designed to give you clarity, not stress. We help practices, care homes and all CQC-regulated services understand exactly where they stand, what's working well, and what needs attention before an inspection happens.
This is not a tick-box exercise. It's a practical, honest review led by experienced primary care professionals who understand what "good" really looks like in day-to-day practice.
Who This Is For
We support a wide range of CQC-regulated services, including:
- GP Practices
- Primary Care Networks (PCNs)
- Care Homes
- Nursing Homes
- Community Healthcare Providers
Whether you're preparing for an upcoming inspection, recovering from a recent rating, or simply want reassurance that you're on the right track - we can help.

What We Do
Our Mock CQC inspections follow the same framework as the regulator, but with a focus on improvement, not just assessment.
Pre-Inspection Preparation
We work with you to understand your service and prepare your team for the process.
Onsite Inspection Visit
A structured review across Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-Led domains, including evidence review, interviews and walkthroughs.
Clear, Honest Feedback
You'll receive straightforward feedback highlighting strengths, risks and priority areas for improvement.
Practical Improvement Guidance
We don't just identify gaps - we show you how to close them with realistic, actionable recommendations.
Ongoing Support (if needed)
Continued guidance to help you embed improvements and stay consistently inspection-ready.
Flexible Support Options
We understand that every service is different, and support needs can vary.
That's why we offer a flexible approach to how we work with you. Alongside full Mock CQC inspections, we can also provide remote support, virtual reviews, and expert advisory guidance to help you prepare or respond to specific concerns.
Whether you need a full onsite inspection, a lighter-touch remote assessment, or simply expert advice to point you in the right direction, we adapt our support to suit your situation, timescales, and level of need.
A Practical, Supportive Approach
Every service is different.
That's why our approach is flexible, calm and tailored to your environment. We meet you where you are - whether you're confident and looking to refine, or under pressure and needing structured support.
Our aim is simple: help you deliver safe, effective, well-led care that stands up to inspection at any time.
A Long-Term Partner in Quality
We don't disappear after an inspection. We help you build systems, confidence and consistency so that CQC readiness becomes part of everyday practice - not something you scramble for once a year. If you'd like an informal discussion, we're happy to talk it through. No pressure. Just practical support when you need it.
