Have you used the CQC Widget?


In October, the CQC launched the 'widget', a device that enables you to put information from your CQC profile page onto your own website. 


The widget is a tool the CQC has developed to allow anyone to display the latest compliance status for any of the 40,000 locations registered with the CQC. There is a widget for every registered location. Each widget shows the CQC logo and a summary of whether that service is meeting the essential standards of quality and safety.

Just like someone embedding a YouTube video on their website or on their Facebook wall, you can see the widget on the website in question but the CQC maintains control of what it shows.

The widget was first piloted over the summer and after feedback, it is now being used by many health and social care providers. Have you used it yet? 


You can find out more about the widget, including how to put it on your site and how you can get updates on its development by visiting the page link below.
