A readiness score you can explain to an inspector

The score for each key question comes from the checks that apply to your practice and the evidence each one has. Open any score and you'll see the quality statements under it, each with its checks and the evidence behind them.

  • Checks mapped to 18 of the 34 CQC quality statements, each linked to its regulation
  • Nine yes or no questions about the practice decide which checks apply
  • Signed records are hashed and chained, with no edit or delete

Questions practice managers ask

How much does Compliance UK cost?

£99 a month per organisation + VAT, on a monthly contract you can cancel at any time, with no setup fee. Paying annually costs £990 a year + VAT, the price of 10 months. For several locations, talk to us.

Is Compliance UK part of the CQC?

Compliance UK is an independent company. It is not part of, or endorsed by, the Care Quality Commission or the government.

Can we bring the evidence we already keep?

You can add the certificates, service reports and logs you already have as photos or files. Tag each one to the quality statements it supports. Your policies can start from the pack's templates, with merge fields for the practice's details.

Will the team use it?

Each piece of equipment gets a QR label. A nurse scans it with a phone and the log for that check opens on one screen, with the fields and valid ranges filled in. Reminders are sent by email. Overdue tasks are escalated to the manager.

What isn't included?

Compliance UK does compliance only. It doesn't do rotas, payroll, stock, patient records or NHS UDA contract tracking, it isn't practice management software and it doesn't write bespoke policies.

Where is our data stored?

Data is stored in the EU. Compliance UK is a UK GDPR processor and your practice is the controller, under an Article 28 data processing agreement. The sub-processors are on a published list.

What happens if we cancel?

You get a full export of your data. We delete it 90 days after you cancel, apart from signature and audit records kept where the law requires it.

Will this get us a good CQC rating?

No software can promise an inspection outcome. The CQC also does not usually give dental practices a rating. Compliance UK shows what's done, what's due and the evidence behind each check.
