Audiology CQC was founded by Tim Husband — a Clinical Audiologist with over 30 years of experience, a National UKAS Assessor, and one of the UK's leading specialists in CQC registration for audiology providers.
CQC registration is notoriously complex. Most private audiology clinics avoid it entirely, limiting the services they can legally provide. Tim Husband built Audiology CQC because he saw too many skilled clinicians struggling with a process that shouldn't require a second career in regulatory compliance.
Having achieved full CQC accreditation for his own practice — including the ability to deliver regulated activities for children under 18 — Tim understands every step of the process from the inside. He doesn't just advise on compliance; he lives it daily as a practising Registered Manager.
That hands-on experience, combined with his role as a National UKAS Assessor evaluating audiology services across the UK, means your application is guided by someone who understands what inspectors look for because he is one.
As a UKAS National Assessor for the IQIPS programme, Tim evaluates NHS and private audiology services against the UK's highest quality standards. This means your application is built to the standard that inspectors actually measure — not a best guess.
Hearing Therapy Ltd holds full CQC registration for regulated activities including paediatric services. Every template, policy, and process in our consultancy portal comes from a real, inspected, compliant practice — not a textbook.
With experience across NHS leadership, private practice, and community audiology contracting, Tim understands the five key questions — Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well-led — from every angle CQC examines them.
