The Care Quality Commission's new provider portal launched on 11 March 2024.
Providers with a role registered with CQC can use their email address associated with their CQC registration to create an account on the new portal.
Existing accounts will not transfer to the new portal automatically. Providers must register on the new portal.
Until 31 March 2024 providers can use the existing portal to view data but not to make any changes or submissions. Historic data will not transfer to a provider's new portal, so it is necessary to download any data you want to keep as a record. More on downloading data.
