Professional boundaries
Precision includes saying what the work does not claim.
- Pegasus is an independent consultancy and is not endorsed by or affiliated with CQC. A mock inspection is a preparation exercise, not a regulatory inspection.
- No inspection outcome or finding of compliance is guaranteed. The registered provider retains responsibility for meeting its duties and implementing improvements.
- The 28 years refers to dental-sector experience, not 28 years of CQC inspections. Clinical decisions and specialist work remain with appropriately qualified professionals within the agreed scope.
Questions answered
Before you scope the work.
What does the 28 years of experience cover?
It refers to dental-sector experience, combined with Pegasus Solutions AI’s professional health, safety and regulatory compliance expertise. It is not a claim of 28 years conducting CQC inspections.
Can you guarantee a successful CQC inspection?
No. Pegasus is independent of CQC and cannot guarantee an inspection outcome. We help practices identify gaps, improve arrangements and organise evidence; regulatory decisions remain with CQC.
Can we book a focused review rather than a full mock inspection?
Yes. We can agree a focused readiness assessment, documentation review or improvement programme around the practice’s priorities and available evidence.
How do we book an assessment?
