Compliance is crushing primary care teams
Between CQC inspections, HIW reviews in Wales, infection-prevention audits, the vaccine cold chain and month-end claims, practice managers and clinical leads spend more time on paperwork than on patient care. Most surgeries still rely on paper logbooks, shared spreadsheets and ad-hoc email chains, leaving dangerous gaps in their compliance evidence.
Inspections arrive at short notice
A CQC inspection can be unannounced, and HIW inspects practices in Wales. Pulling six months of evidence together across infection control, the cold chain, medicines and training takes days your team does not have.
Recurring checks pile up
IPC audits, fridge temperatures twice a day, policy reviews, training renewals — dozens of recurring tasks that paper and spreadsheets cannot remind you about, escalate, or prove were done on time.
The evidence is scattered
Records live in ring binders, inboxes and shared drives. When an inspector asks to see it, you cannot prove it quickly — and the gaps only surface under pressure.
Everything the whole practice needs to stay inspection-ready
Every check, every log, every piece of evidence is captured digitally: timestamped, attributed, and mapped to CQC’s Single Assessment Framework and HIW’s domains. When an inspector calls, you generate the evidence pack in one click.
Know where you stand
A Fit-for-Audit score out of 100, with the weak areas broken down into coverage, on-time, evidence and sign-off — so you fix the specific gap, not a vague worry. Mapped to CQC's Single Assessment Framework and five key questions, and to HIW's domains.
The cold chain, watched
Register every vaccine fridge, log morning and afternoon temperatures, and get an instant alert the moment a reading falls outside 2–8°C — with the remedial action captured on the spot and a 30-day cold-chain report a click away.
IPC that runs on the calendar
Your six-monthly audits are created for you each May and December, and your 12-month IPC statement generates in one click — the inspector-ready document, from live data.
Controlled drugs, clean
Capture the month's scripts, remove any with a reason on the record, and export a signature-ready claim pack — an auditable trail, not a spreadsheet.
Policies and training, current
Everyone acknowledges the current policy version and you can prove it; reviews chase themselves and escalate; mandatory training is tracked with expiry alerts.
Proof you can defend
An immutable audit log of every change, geo-tagged tamper-evident evidence, two-factor sign-in and per-practice data isolation.
The Fit-for-Audit score is an at-a-glance indicator of compliance health, not a certified percentage. AI-generated compliance percentages are indicative, to guide where you look next — they are not an authoritative regulatory judgement.

Mapped to the frameworks that matter
FitForAudit GP is pre-configured to align with the regulatory frameworks that apply to GP practices in England and Wales. Every piece of evidence is tagged and organised so it satisfies the specific requirements of each body.
Three steps to inspection-ready compliance
We handle the heavy lifting; your team just captures evidence as they go.
Configure
We set your practice up mapped to CQC’s Single Assessment Framework and HIW’s domains, with your recurring schedules — IPC audits, fridge checks, policy reviews — pre-loaded. Existing certificates and policies are imported in a guided onboarding session. Most practices are live in about a working day.
Capture
Your team logs checks as they go: fridge temperatures morning and afternoon, IPC audits, controlled-drug registers, policy acknowledgements. Every entry is timestamped, attributed, and mapped to the relevant standard, with a photo where it helps.
Comply
The Fit-for-Audit score shows where you stand and what to fix next. Reviews and audits chase themselves and escalate when overdue. When CQC or HIW gives notice — or arrives unannounced — you generate the evidence pack in seconds.
When the rules change, the app changes
Regulation never sits still. CQC refreshes its framework. Fire safety guidance gets rewritten. JCQ reissues the Orange Book. Estyn changes what “ready” looks like. When that happens, you shouldn’t have to rebuild your logbooks or hope someone spotted the update. We track the frameworks that govern your sector and update the platform to match — often the same day guidance changes. And as new technology matures — better AI, richer evidence, faster ways to prove the same truth — we fold it in, so the tool you buy this year keeps getting sharper without you lifting a finger. Your compliance is a moving target. Keeping the platform aligned to it is our job, not yours.

Volume discounts are available for Primary Care Networks and GP federations managing multiple surgeries. All plans include onboarding, training, and ongoing support.
Frequently asked questions about GP practice compliance
What frameworks does FitForAudit GP map to?
FitForAudit GP is mapped to CQC’s Single Assessment Framework and its five key questions — Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led — and to Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) domains for practices in Wales. Every check, audit and piece of evidence is tagged to the relevant standard, so a Fit-for-Audit score shows you exactly where the gaps are before an inspector does.
How does FitForAudit GP help with the vaccine cold chain?
Register every vaccine fridge, log morning and afternoon temperatures, and get an instant alert the moment a reading falls outside 2–8°C. The remedial action is captured on the spot, and a 30-day cold-chain report is a click away — the audit trail your ICB and immunisation programme expect.
Can the whole practice team use it, from partners to the front desk?
Yes. FitForAudit GP uses role-based dashboards so every team member sees what is relevant to them. Partners and practice managers get oversight and the Fit-for-Audit score; nurses see IPC audits and vaccine cold-chain logs; admin staff see policy acknowledgements, training and equipment schedules. There are no per-user charges — your whole team gets access.
How quickly can we get FitForAudit GP running?
Most practices are live in about a working day. We set you up mapped to CQC’s Single Assessment Framework and HIW’s domains, with your recurring schedules — IPC audits, fridge checks, policy reviews — pre-loaded, and import your existing certificates and policies during a guided onboarding session.
Where is our data stored, and how is it protected?
Your data is processed and stored in Europe. FitForAudit GP keeps an immutable audit log of every change, captures geo-tagged tamper-evident evidence, uses two-factor sign-in, and isolates each practice’s data. AI-generated compliance percentages are indicative to guide your attention — they are not an authoritative regulatory judgement.
