- Is a CQC rating a guarantee that a GP practice is right for me?
- No. A CQC rating tells you how the regulator judged a GP practice at its last inspection across safety, effectiveness, caring, responsiveness and leadership. It is a strong, independent signal but not a personalised recommendation: ratings can be months old, and the right choice also depends on your specific needs, location and availability. Always check the latest individual report on the CQC website before deciding.
