Get Compliant With the New National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025

A poor rating under the NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025 has far-reaching consequences beyond just a loss of pride. It triggers increased scrutiny from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), potentially leading to mandatory improvement actions, fines, or even restrictions on services if problems persist. Publicly displayed ratings mean that patients, staff, and commissioners immediately see the quality of your cleanliness standards, which can damage patient trust and harm your practice’s reputation. Furthermore, inadequate hygiene directly increases the risk of healthcare-associated infections, compromising patient safety and staff wellbeing. Ultimately, this can lead to financial losses through decreased patient registrations, additional compliance costs, and resources diverted away from patient care to address urgent remediation.

At Clean Sweep Commercial, we proactively manage compliance to keep your rating high, your reputation strong, and your practice safe.

What It Takes to Keep Your Surgery Audit-Ready

Maintaining high cleanliness standards is vital to CQC compliance and patient safety. Under the NHS National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025, GP surgeries must have a robust cleaning programme supported by regular audits.

As part of our CQC-Compliant Package, we provide:

  • Daily Audits – Confirm routine cleaning is completed and issues are resolved promptly.

  • Technical Audits – Ensure hospital-grade chemicals and colour-coded equipment are used to prevent cross-contamination.

  • Efficacy Audits – Annual checks that measure overall cleaning effectiveness and ongoing compliance.

Tech-Driven Daily Audits for Total Transparency

At Clean Sweep Commercial, we've developed Sentinel, our proprietary cloud-based auditing system designed to raise the bar for healthcare cleaning compliance.

When your site supervisor arrives, they log in through the Sentinel app, recording the time, date, and GPS location as part of your daily audit. Each area is assigned a functional risk category, and our colour-coded cleaning schedules detail what needs to be cleaned, how, and how often. Photos are captured for verification, and QR codes are scanned to confirm task completion.

You can access all daily audits anytime via a secure VIP link and password, with printed records also stored in your Practice Handbook, keeping your facility 100% inspection-ready.

Sentinel isn't just software; it's a smarter, more transparent way to manage cleaning, giving you real-time oversight, full accountability, and complete confidence in your CQC compliance.

Technical Audits – Ensuring NHS Standards Are Met Every Time

Technical audits are vital to maintaining NHS-level cleaning standards across your medical facility. At Clean Sweep Commercial, we conduct these audits randomly and unannounced to give an accurate, unbiased view of real cleaning performance.

Each audit is scored against the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025, assessing whether procedures are followed correctly, colour-coded equipment is used appropriately, and staff deliver safe, consistent hygiene outcomes.

Regular technical audits help keep your practice inspection-ready, support continuous improvement, and ensure your cleaning operation remains fully aligned with NHS and CQC expectations without surprises.

Efficacy Audits – Verifying Compliance and Infection Control Standards

Efficacy audits are essential to ensuring your cleaning regime exists on paper and is actively followed to the highest Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and health and safety standards.

At Clean Sweep Commercial, these audits assess how effectively your current training, cleaning procedures, and IPC protocols are being implemented in real-world conditions. We directly observe cleaning operatives to verify correct colour coding, approved techniques, appropriate PPE, and safe chemical use.

This process ensures every clean is thorough, consistent, and fully compliant with NHS and CQC expectations, giving your practice the assurance it needs to remain safe, professional, and always inspection-ready.
