Mobile Earwax Removal in Collycroft
What the rules say
Before anything else in this category: resolve directly with the Care Quality Commission whether your specific business needs to register. CQC's published position is that earwax removal is a regulated activity only where a listed healthcare professional agrees and carries out the treatment -- how that applies to a non-HCPC-registered mobile practitioner is genuinely contested between sources, so this guide cannot give you a flat yes or no, and neither should anyone else without checking your specific circumstances with CQC. No qualification is a legal requirement for microsuction or ear irrigation, but training and insurance providers in practice expect one. DBS eligibility for this role is unresolved in current guidance -- use the official DBS eligibility checker rather than assuming either way. Public liability and professional indemnity cover aren't a legal must for a sole trader, but are widely treated as essential given the clinical nature of the work.
