Is the call genuinely free?
Yes. There is no charge for the 30-minute CQC Health Check call and no obligation to engage Aegis further. If you want to explore working together after the call, we will confirm what that looks like and what it costs. There is no pressure.
Does my clinic need CQC registration?
It depends on what regulated activities your service involves. Many private clinics — including aesthetics, diagnostics and mental health services — require CQC registration. The free call will give you a definitive answer for your specific service model.
How long does CQC registration take?
CQC registration typically takes between 10 and 16 weeks from application. How well-prepared your application is significantly affects the speed and success of the process. Getting the groundwork right before you apply is essential.
What if I've already received a poor CQC rating?
We offer dedicated crisis and urgent response support for providers who have received Inadequate or Requires Improvement ratings. We can respond the same day and be on-site within 24–48 hours. Visit our crisis support page for more detail.
Do you work outside London?
Yes. We support providers across London and England. Many engagements are delivered remotely, with on-site support available where the situation requires it.
