GP Practice Document & Evidence Review
Find gaps in your practice documents before an inspection
Glare•9 helps your practice identify missing information, inconsistent policies and unclear supporting evidence, so your team can focus on what needs attention and reduce last-minute preparation.
We review an agreed collection of operational documents and provide a prioritised report showing what we found, where we found it and practical next steps. The scope is agreed around your practice’s needs, including preparation for CQC assessment where relevant.

Make preparation more manageable
Practice documents build up over time. Policies are updated, responsibilities change and supporting records can become difficult to locate. Your team may know how a process works while the documents give an incomplete or inconsistent account.
A focused review helps bring those issues into view and gives your team a manageable set of actions.
Find unclear or missing information.
Identify inconsistencies that need attention.
Understand which supporting evidence needs clarification.
What the review can cover
We agree the documents, review criteria and exclusions before work begins. Depending on the scope, the review can cover:
- Policy ownership, approval details and review dates.
- Required information within the selected documents.
- Consistency of responsibilities, terminology and stated procedures.
- References to supporting records and evidence.
- Patient-facing information included in the agreed scope.
Possible starting points include document control, complaints procedures and governance records. Clinical or specialist questions are identified for appropriate review.
A clear report your team can act on
You receive:
- A record of the documents and criteria reviewed.
- Prioritised findings with references to the relevant material.
- A clear distinction between identified issues, evidence not supplied and questions requiring clarification.
- Recommended next steps for your team.
- A findings discussion to work through the report.
Any support with changes or a follow-up review is agreed separately.
How it works
Step 1: Agree the scope
We discuss your priorities and agree the document collection, review criteria, fee and delivery timetable.
Step 2: Provide the agreed material
We agree a suitable transfer method. The initial review is designed around operational documents without identifiable patient records.
Step 3: Review and clarify
We examine the supplied material against the agreed criteria and raise questions where information is incomplete or unclear.
Step 4: Prioritise the next steps
We provide the findings report and discuss which actions your practice should address first.
Supported by Folio•9
Folio•9 supports document checks against an agreed policy set and records the findings and assessment details. This helps make the review traceable, with a record of what was checked and which questions remain open.
The checks support the review process. Interpretation and decisions still require accountable human judgement.
Clear scope and proportionate conclusions
This is a focused document and evidence review. It can support CQC preparation, but it does not constitute a CQC inspection, accredited certification or a guarantee of compliance or a particular inspection outcome.
A document review cannot establish how every process operates in practice. Where a question requires interviews, observation or specialist clinical or regulatory advice, the report identifies that need.
Questions about the review
Do we need to use AI?
No. The service concerns your practice documents and supporting evidence. Your practice does not need to use AI.
Do we need to replace our current compliance software?
No. We agree a review of material you can provide from your existing arrangements. Access and export options are discussed before work begins.
Do you need patient records?
The initial scope is designed to avoid identifiable patient records. We agree what to provide and any information that should be removed before transfer.
Does missing evidence mean we are non-compliant?
No. Material may exist outside the collection supplied. The report distinguishes evidence not provided from a confirmed issue and identifies questions for your team to clarify.
How long does the review take?
We agree the timetable before starting, based on the volume of material and the depth of review required.
Can you help us make changes afterwards?
Follow-up support can be discussed once the findings are understood. Any additional work and specialist input are scoped separately.
