We inspect, monitor and rate a wide range of services, including care homes, hospitals, dental services and many more.
We make sure those services provide people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and we encourage them to improve. If we find poor care we will take action to protect people.
We also use our insight and independent voice to promote a national conversation on safety across health and care sectors and systems.

Anthony Snape
Director of Technology
"CQC provides a great working environment through values, training, support and collaborative working. Not to mention the purpose: ‘We make sure health and social care services provide people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and we encourage care services to improve’.
This is close to my heart and I love working for an organisation that can help make this happen."
Amanda Coughlan
Major Incident and Service Improvement Manager
"I joined the CQC in April as a graduate after completing a 13 week full-stack development program.
During my first few months in the DevOps team I familiarised myself with the concept of cloud computing. I also prepared for the AZ-900 Microsoft Fundamentals exam which I sat in May. Since then, I have trained in Azure administration, Power Platform and Dynamics. I have also worked with a Senior DevOps engineer to create pipelines in Azure DevOps. I'm now learning Terraform and PowerShell and recently created my first pipeline.
I have found CQC an extremely welcoming, driven and friendly place to work. And I'm excited to delve deeper into DevOps."
