How We Are Regulated
HMT operates in the healthcare sector, providing essential services to communities in England and Wales. It is crucial that our care services meet national standards set by healthcare regulators. We aim to provide consistently excellent care while ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our patients.
Our Regulators in England
In England, we are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which inspects and monitors our services to ensure we meet strict standards of care, safety and patient wellbeing. The CQC reports provide independent assessments of our services, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Our Regulators In Wales
In Wales, we are governed by the Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW). HIW monitors and inspects our Welsh facilities to ensure we provide safe, high-quality care in line with national standards. We regularly engage with HIW to ensure we meet and exceed these benchmarks.
Our Legal Structure
HMT operates as a charitable trust, with a clear and transparent legal structure that reflects our values and mission. Our governance model ensures that we are not only compliant with charity law, but also focused on the best interests of our patients, residents and the broader community.
HMT is a registered charity, with governance overseen by a Board of Trustees.
Following the acquisition of St Quentin Care Homes, HMT has expanded into a group structure, with The Healthcare Management Trust Ltd Group as the parent company and St Quentin Residential Home Ltd as a subsidary.
