Attenborough Surgery + Essex Lodge · Regulation 12 requirement notices
Expired consumables lead to Regulation 12 breaches.
In both reports, CQC recorded the findings in Regulation 12 requirement notices.
CQC requirement notice · Attenborough Surgery“Some medical consumables at one surgery were beyond their expiry dates.”
CQC recorded the wider failure to monitor medical-consumable expiry as a breach of Regulation 12(1).
CQC requirement notice · Essex Lodge“There was no system to check emergency medicines or pulse oximeter in the emergency kit and emergency use needles and syringes were out of date.”
CQC recorded this within a Regulation 12(1) breach.
How STOCKROOM closes the gap
- Expiry dates are attached to the stock record instead of a separate memory or spreadsheet
- Upcoming expiry can be surfaced before the item reaches the date
- The practice can see quantities and expiry lots together

Stock organisation can release real clinical time.
An NHS England GP case study reported 16 hours of clinical time released each week after Churchill Medical Centre improved room organisation and introduced routine stock-up.
