Regulations
At Fidelis Healthcare, our dedication to exceptional care is rooted in full compliance with the regulatory standards governing healthcare recruitment in the UK. This protects our clients and our candidates, providing peace of mind to both, and ensures patients receive exemplary care.
All candidates undergo rigorous background checks, including DBS verification, employment history screening, skills assessments, and right-to-work verification, ensuring only the most qualified, trusted professionals are placed in care settings.
Our Key Regulatory Commitments
Here we outline the key regulatory areas that healthcare recruitment agencies must adhere to and demonstrate how Fidelis Healthcare not only meets but exceeds them.
Care Quality Commission (CQC)
As the independent regulator of health and social care in England, all agencies must be registered with the CQC if they provide any form of health or social care. We adhere to all standards set by the CQC and strive to exceed them.
Safeguarding
Our safeguarding policies are designed to protect vulnerable adults and children from harm, ensuring the care our healthcare professionals provide is safe and effective. Our team will also identify and report abuse of any kind.
Right to Work Checks
Thorough checks are carried out on all of our candidates to ensure each one has the right to work in the UK.
Mandatory Training
All nurses and carers meet stringent criteria. Competency updates are compulsory and a range of training courses are offered to ensure continued compliance.
DBS Checks
We conduct enhanced DBS checks on all of our candidates to ensure they are suitable to work with children and vulnerable adults.
