Care Quality Commission (CQC), the public body responsible for independently regulating all health and adult social care providers, puts certain standards and regulations for all registered health care and adult care providers in England. If you are a health care provider looking for assistance with CQC enforcement, Bluebridges Solicitors are the right choice. Empowered with several years  of experience (and with a former legal advisor to the CQC in our team) we are uniquely positioned to serve our clients with exceptional services.

Whether you are a GP practice or  a care home service provider, dental practice or you offer ambulance services – Bluebridges Solicitors are here to help. From responding to warning notices to drafting appeals, we offer comprehensive and effective legal solutions when it comes to CQC enforcement.

Our services include but are not limited to:

• Providing consultation on how to make your health care practice CQC compliant.
• Responding to any notices or warnings you receive to avoid suspension or revocation of your registration.
• Appealing an Urgent Notice of Decision under S31 of the Health and Social care Act 2008

It is hard enough to qualify, and then to shoulder the responsibility of practising, as a doctor, or pharmacist or nurse or dentist or other medical or healthcare practitioner. It is even harder -and more stressful- should, unfortunately, you find yourself being called upon by your regulator to answer to some questions bothering on professional misconduct or fitness to practise.  Whether or not you think any allegations or charges against you have any basis, it is important that you respond both promptly and competently against them. This is where Bluebridges Solicitors will be happy to assist.

Some of the ways we can assist include to:

• Represent and advise you in investigations or proceedings brought by your regulator.
• Liaise with your regulator and any other relevant parties on your behalf, and respond by written representations as may be necessary.
• Advise you on the sort of evidence which may be relevant or helpful to build your case, and assist to put together such relevant to support your defence.
• Constantly carry out a review of your case and provide you with honest professional opinion as to the strength or otherwise of the case against you.
• Attend an Interview-under-caution with you.
• Present your case in the best possible way.
• Represent you or instruct specialist counsel to represent you for the hearing of your case, including interim orders, at the Fitness to Practise panel.
