Organisations we regulate
Each inspection team is led by a CQC Inspector or Inspection manager.
Where appropriate, an inspection team will also include:
- Specialist professional advisors. These are clinical and other experts such as pharmacists, nurses, doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, GPs, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, equality and diversity leads or health service managers
- Mental Health Act Reviewers
- Experts by Experience. These are people who have experienced care personally or experience of caring for someone who has received a particular type of care
- CQC inspection team support staff
The specialist professional advisors and Experts by Experience who join the team reflect the type of services being inspected, the areas on which we plan to focus and the nature of any concerns identified before inspection. This will also influence the size of the inspection team.
