How is the compliance score worked out?

From four areas: training (30%), policies (30%), audits (25%) and staff documents (15%). It is also shown for each of the five key questions, with 90% and above in green.

Does Pathway replace a compliance consultant?

It replaces the day-to-day work: checks, audits, logs, signed policies and training all run in Pathway. You can still bring in an adviser for a mock inspection.

Can a group see every practice?

Yes. Group owners see each practice’s score side by side, and can share policies, audit templates, risk assessments and training across sites.

What can we show an inspector?

Live records on screen, anyone’s evidence pack in one download, and CSV exports of your training matrix and X-ray register.

Does it work in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?

The score follows the CQC key questions, which apply in England. Practices elsewhere use the same checks, logs, policies and training.

a score that moves when your practice does

Old-school compliance tools are expensive, your team never uses them, and they add little to how the practice runs.

Pathway’s score changes as checks are signed off, policies are read and certificates expire, because the evidence is captured as the work happens.
