REGULATED CARE

What CQC registration means for you

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. Registration means that we are authorised to carry out specific regulated activities and are required to meet legal standards of quality and safety.

VB Health is proud to be a CQC-registered clinic for the regulated activities of Treatment of Disease, Disorder or Injury and Surgical Procedures. We are rated Good by the CQC, reflecting the quality of care assessed during our inspection.

​

We take our responsibilities seriously and are committed to providing safe, effective and well-managed services within the scope of our registration. We believe trust starts with transparency, and want every patient to feel informed, comfortable asking questions and confident in the care they receive.
