CQC Compliance and Health & Safety Support for GP Surgeries and Doctors’ Practices

Keep Your Surgery CQC-Ready

CQC inspections create real pressure for GP surgeries, especially when demonstrating that your practice is "Safe and Well-Led". MBHS takes that weight off your shoulders with practical, friendly Health & Safety support tailored to primary care. We handle your annual safety audits, fire risk assessments, H&S policies and COSHH assessments while providing expert guidance on training matrices, incident investigations and corrective action planning. We also organise all your compliance evidence into a clear, inspection-ready system so you always know where you stand.

MBHS helps you regain control

We build a clear, practical Health & Safety framework aligned to the CQC domains and support you with the compliance processes. From updating risk assessments and policies to identifying hazards and organising evidence, we ensure your systems are consistent, up-to-date, and inspection-ready.

MBHS has worked with GP surgeries for over a decade. We are friendly and will communicate the compliance process in an easy-to-understand way. We provide the essential documentation and can assist with your questions when you need help.

If you want calm, structured support that reduces pressure, strengthens your ability to demonstrate safe, well-led care, and gives you confidence before your next inspection, contact us today – we can help you put everything in order quickly and professionally.

CQC: What They Expect to See Regarding Health & Safety

The CQC assesses whether your practice works systematically. Inspectors typically look for evidence that risk assessments are completed, current, and regularly updated; actions arising from assessments are tracked and implemented; training is appropriate, recorded, and proportionate to risk; policies clearly describe how risks are managed; and there is evidence of periodic review and oversight.

Where surgeries often struggle is not through a lack of safety activity but by having evidence that is unstructured.

Many practices still refer to the old CQC Outcomes 12 and 15, which remain relevant. These are now reflected in the domains of Safe and Well-Led, particularly around:

• Premises safety
• Equipment suitability
• Staff competence

Most GP surgeries already manage safety well but lack an understanding of how to present the evidence to back it up. MBHS helps you turn your arrangements into a clearly organised, inspection-ready body of evidence that demonstrates your practice takes Health & Safety seriously and is well-led. All our work is linked directly to CQC requirements, so your Health & Safety arrangements support the Safe and Well-Led frameworks and help ensure a smooth inspection outcome.
