CQC Registration for out-of-hours services

Since April 2012 there has been a new system of regulation for providers of out-of-hours services.

If you are an out-of-hours provider that is registered with the CQC, you may want to make changes to your application. Perhaps changes concerning your location, managers or your partnerships. If you do, the CQC website has a range of information and resources to help you at http://www.cqc.org.uk/organisations-we-regulate/gps-and-primary-medical-services/registration-out-hours-services.

If you are registering for the first time as a new provider offering an out-of-hours service, you will need to apply to register. As a new provider you will be subject to a series of checks before your application is complete. Every will pay a single annual fee on the same date each year. This fee will cover all registration, variation and compliance requirements. The CQC will begin their planned reviews of out-of-hours service providers after the summer.

You can find more details about the application process in the step-by-step guide on the CQC website.
