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.

Questions about starting in Sankey Bridges

Is microsuction or ear irrigation the safer method to offer in Sankey Bridges?

This is a clinical question this guide can't answer -- sources disagree, and the right method for a given client depends on their individual ear history. Whichever method(s) you offer in Sankey Bridges, make sure your training and insurance specifically cover it.

Do I need a qualification to remove earwax commercially in Sankey Bridges?

No qualification is legally required, but the training and insurance market in practice expects a recognised microsuction or irrigation course. There's no single confirmed UK-wide training standard, so check what your chosen insurer in Sankey Bridges actually requires for cover.

Do I need a DBS check to work as a mobile earwax removal practitioner in Sankey Bridges?

This is genuinely unclear from current published guidance. Rather than assuming either way, use the official DBS eligibility checker to confirm your position before working in Sankey Bridges.

How do I screen clients for conditions that make earwax removal unsuitable in Sankey Bridges?

This guide doesn't provide contraindication-screening or consultation content -- that needs to come from a qualified clinical professional, not general business guidance. Resolve your own clinical screening process before taking clients in Sankey Bridges.
