Secure Medication Storage That Helps You Meet CQC Compliance
Meeting CQC's fundamental standards around safe medicines management starts with how you store, separate and control access to what's in your care. Lockabox's durable, lockable boxes help healthcare and social care teams stay on top of medication, care supplies, treatment items and personal belongings — supporting your compliance with CQC requirements around controlled access in busy, shared settings.
Compliance
How Lockabox supports CQC compliance
Three CQC regulations where secure, lockable storage plays a role.
Regulation 15
Premises and Equipment
Equipment used to deliver care must be kept clean, secure, and suitable for its purpose. Lockabox's wipeable polycarbonate construction and combination lock help support these requirements for general equipment storage.
Read CQC's guidanceRegulation 13
Safeguarding
Providers must protect service users from abuse and improper treatment. Secure storage supports this by helping prevent unauthorised access to medicines and other sensitive items.
Read CQC's guidanceLockabox is not designed or certified for controlled drug storage. Controlled drugs must be stored in metal cabinets that meet British Standard 2881, under separate legislation.
