Mock Inspectors
At QCM2US, our team of Clinical Partner Consultants and Partner Consultants bring together a wealth of expertise from across the health and social care sector. With decades of combined experience as former CQC Inspectors, Clinical Leadership, Director of Operations, Operational Management, regulation, and frontline care, our Consultants conduct thorough, insightful assessments tailored to the latest (SAF) CQC frameworks.
Each team member has held senior roles in high-pressure environments ranging from forensic settings, domiciliary settings, A&E departments and care homes to director level and regional leadership positions within both large and small providers. Their hands-on understanding of what quality care looks like, combined with up-to-date knowledge of regulatory expectations, ensures that our clients receive accurate, constructive, and practical feedback.
Passionate about quality improvement, our Consultants don’t just audit, they support. Through detailed reporting, coaching, and targeted action planning, they help services not only prepare for inspection but improve outcomes for the people they support.

Provider Information Returns (PIR)
Completing the Provider Information Return (PIR) can be a daunting and time-consuming task yet it plays a crucial role in how CQC assesses your service. The PIR is your opportunity to showcase what your service does well, evidence quality outcomes, and highlight how you’re meeting the new Quality Statements and Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs) under the CQC’s Single Assessment Framework.
At QCM2US, we understand that many providers struggle to find the time, clarity, or confidence to complete PIRs effectively. That’s where we come in.
Our team can support you by:
Reviewing or co-writing your PIR to ensure it's clear, evidence-based, and aligned with CQC expectations
Helping you articulate strengths across the five key questions: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led
Identifying gaps or weaknesses in your current evidence and advising on how to address them
Ensuring your PIR reflects your service’s voice, values, and continuous improvement journey
Linking your PIR content directly to quality assurance frameworks and real-world examples of best practice
Our goal is to ensure your PIR isn’t just a tick-box exercise but a strategic tool that positions your service in the strongest possible light before inspection. Whether you need a full PIR review or light-touch guidance, QCM2US can help you submit with confidence.
