Your registration roadmap
A guided path to CQC registration for aesthetics and cosmetic clinics — from working out whether you need to register to your fit-person interview.
Confirm You Need to Register
Work out whether your treatments are CQC regulated activities — e.g. treatment of disease, disorder or injury by a healthcare professional, surgical procedures, or diagnostic and screening procedures.
Provider & Registered Manager
Choose your legal entity and identify the registered manager and nominated individual who will be accountable to CQC.
Statement of Purpose & Premises
Describe your regulated activities, service users, premises and clinical governance in your Statement of Purpose, and make sure the clinic is fit for purpose.
Clinical Governance & Policies
Put in place the policies, prescribing arrangements, consent process and audit cycle that CQC will test at registration.
Registered Manager Interview
Prepare for the CQC fit-person interview — expect questions on regulated activities, prescribing, consent, complications, safeguarding and how you assure quality.
Apply & Prepare for Assessment
Submit the provider and registered manager applications, respond to CQC queries and get ready for your first assessment.
