Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dispensed CQC Registered?

Yes. Dispensed is fully registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

This means we are legally authorised to provide regulated healthcare services in England and are monitored to ensure we meet the required standards of quality and safety.

What is a CQC registration?

A Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration is a requirement for any person (individual, partnership or organisation) who provides regulated activity in England. The registration is managed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of all health and social services in England to ensure fundamental standards of quality and safety are upheld by those who hold a CQC registration.

Why does the CQC licence matter?

The CQC registration is an important registration upheld by the CQC to ensure services provided in environments from hospitals, care homes and GPs are deemed safe for high quality patient care. It is an offence not to be registered. All consumers are encouraged to always check the CQC status of any provider for health and social service in England.

How do you obtain a CQC registration?

To be registered under the CQC, applicants must show fitness and compliance with relevant regulations which are set out in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (HSCA) and its associated regulations. Through the system of registration, a provider is judged to be fit to provide and manage good quality care that meets the needs of people, and authorised to do so.
