The Newcastle Clinic are regulated by the Care Quality
Commission.
 The
Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator
of all health and adult social care in England. Their
aim is to make sure better care is provided for everyone,
whether that’s in hospital, in care homes, in people’s
own homes, or elsewhere.
They have a vision of high
quality health and social care which:
- Supports people to live healthy and independent lives
- Helps people and their carers make informed choices
about care
- Responds to individual needs.
The Quality Care Commission make sure that essential
common quality standards are being met where care is provided
and work towards the improvement of care services. They
promote the rights and interests of people who use services
and have a wide range of enforcement powers to take action
on their behalf if services are unacceptably poor.
Their work brings together independent regulation of
health, mental health and adult social care. Before 1
April 2009, this work was carried out by the Healthcare
Commission, the Mental Health Act Commission and the Commission
for Social Care Inspection. These organisations no longer
exist.
The main activities are:
- Registration of health and social care providers
to ensure they are meeting essential common quality
standards
- Monitoring and inspection of all health and adult
social care
- Using our enforcement powers, such as fines and public
warnings or closures, if standards are not being met
- Improving health and social care services by undertaking
regular reviews of how well those who arrange and provide
services locally are performing and special reviews
on particular care services, pathways of care or themes
where there are particular concerns about quality
- Reporting the outcomes of our work so that people
who use services have information about the quality
of their local health and adult social care services.
It helps those who arrange and provide services to see
where improvement is needed and learn from each other
about what works best.
The Newcastle Clinic are regulated by the Quality Care
Commission, we adhere to their standards and ensure we
deliver as expected in standards of our care.
