In our new regular report, FPM looks in detail at what the CQC have reported from their GP practice inspections during September 2025. Using publicly available reports on the CQC website, we highlight some of the behaviours that won practices Outstanding ratings, and the reasons some practices were scored Requires Improvement, or Inadequate. Do you recognise any of the observations the CQC picked up, either good or bad? Do you think the CQC's findings are fair?

• 12 reports were for GPs rated "Requires Improvement"
• 1 report was for a GP rated "Inadequate"
• 2 reports were for GPs rated "Outstanding"
