The Care Quality Commission are the independent regulator of health and social care in England.
They make sure health and social care services provide people with safe, effective, compassionate, high-quality care and they encourage care services to improve.
The CQC monitor, inspect and regulate services to make sure they meet fundamental standards of quality and safety and they publish their findings, including performance ratings to help people choose care.
Summerfield Healthcare is proud to say that we have passed our CQC registration process for a new provider first time as has our Registered Manager.We are able to provide services categorised under the Treatment of Disease and Disorder, Diagnostic and Screening Services, Surgical Procedures and Family Planning.We are now able to provide healthcare activities regulated by the Care Quality Commission at Summerfield Healthcare.We can offer a service to the ‘whole population’ as all of our staff are trained in safeguarding children.
Due to the recently announced lockdown in England, Summerfield Healthcare is currently only able to offer a limited number of clinical services including:
For some services we continue to offer such as health checks and minor surgery we are now providing COVID-19 testing for all patients and Doctors. This is mandatory due to the proximity of the practitioner, the duration of the appointment and multiple clinicians also being involved in your treatment. An additional £10 will be included in the appointment fee at the point of payment to cover the cost of COVID testing, and your booking confirmation will reflect this requirement. This is not required for blood testing due to the short duration of appointments and reduced risk of exposure.
If you cannot find the service you are looking for or it is not available to book due to the lockdown, please enter your details below and the service you require and we will contact you when the service resumes. Please remember that all COVID testing services are continuing during lockdown.
