View research publications →What is a CQC Registered Manager?
Dr Serap Akmal is the Registered Manager of The Harley Street Hospital — a person registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to manage the regulated activities the hospital provides.
Like the registered provider, a Registered Manager is a "registered person" with legal responsibility for meeting the requirements of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and its associated Regulations — the standards that govern how a service is run. In practice, this means ensuring that day-to-day care is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led: the five questions the CQC asks of every service it inspects.
The Registered Manager provides the clinical and operational leadership that keeps the hospital compliant, safe and patient-focused — overseeing standards of care and hygiene, governance and risk, staff competence, and the experience of every patient who passes through our doors.
A highly qualified consultant
Beyond her leadership role, Dr Akmal is a highly experienced Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, caring for women across every stage of life — from routine gynaecological and obstetric care to complex conditions.
She also works at Imperial College, one of the UK's foremost centres for medicine and research, combining front-line clinical practice with an active academic and research interest. Her published work spans her specialty and is referenced on her research profile.
This blend of senior clinical expertise, academic rigour and regulatory leadership ensures the hospital is managed to the highest professional standards — with patient safety and quality of care at its heart.
