Founded by former CQC Inspector Gabi Ashton in 2022, this York-based consultancy helps healthcare providers navigate the often-intimidating world of CQC compliance. They specialize in turning "Inadequate" ratings around through mock inspections, registration support, and tailored workshops. The firm’s approach is centered on making complex regulations feel manageable, ensuring leaders can stay focused on delivering high-quality care rather than just drowning in paperwork.
Manchester-based Vallour (formerly General Practice Specialists) was launched by Dr. Valeed Ghafoor to help ease the crushing administrative and clinical pressure on the NHS. They partner with hundreds of GP practices and PCNs to streamline workflows using digital tools and AI-driven triage. Their core services range from managing clinical administration and pathology reports to providing dedicated clinical pharmacy support, all aimed at giving doctors more time back for their patients.
Operating out of Stockport, CliniLink is an education-focused consultancy led by Mehmoona Usman and Theresa Ho, with Dr. Valeed Ghafoor serving as Chief Strategy Officer. They focus on professional development through CPD-accredited training and "Deep Dive" sessions on topics like menopause and diabetes. Beyond education, they develop practical clinical pathways and offer mentorship for prescribing practitioners, helping to bridge the gap between medical theory and real-world primary care delivery.
Your Partner in Practice Success: we know that running a healthcare practice in the UK is about more than just administration—it’s about people. Clients choose RA Support because we act as an extension of their own team.
