Who is it for?

  • Patients & Service Users: Easily locate clinics, GP practices, hospitals, and care providers within a local authority area and inspect their official CQC rating.
  • Healthcare Administrators: Access verified ODS codes, CCG coverages, Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRN), and registry change records.
  • Researchers & Developers: Cross-reference parent providers with their associated locations and inspect live CQC JSON payloads.
