Survey on Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections in General Practice

CQC inspections

As the CQC inspections resume in General Practice, we are collating feedback about your experience of the inspections to inform our discussions with CQC.

The objectives of the survey are:
1. To help inform our discussions with the CQC.
2. To understand the experiences of the Practices.
3. To contribute to discussions around future formats of the inspections.

It will be extremely helpful to collect lived experiences of inspections as well as impact of size and make up of partnerships and we shall be very grateful if you can spare two mins of your precious time.

All responses will be confidential.
