Why choose ABACS CQC Solutions?

Regulatory compliance is both a must and a headache for most. It can be difficult to understand the language and terminology of legislation and get to grips with your obligations for compliance, let alone how you demonstrate operating within best practice standards, both clinically and operationally, with accountability, oversight, and adequate audits in place. Knowing which policies and procedures to draw up, maintain, and adhere to in daily practice.

Aesthetic clinic owners often tell us they do not know where to start with CQC or HIW registration and find the process daunting and overwhelming. AB Aesthetic Consultant Services and our CQC Solutions packages can help, guiding you on the journey to regulatory readiness, ensuring you have all your ‘ducks in a row’ to achieve compliance, and successfully register with the CQC in England or the HIW in Wales. Similarly, our annual support packages will help you maintain ongoing governance of your practice to ensure CQC or HIW registration is sustained through continuous review and adaptation.
