About Muhammad Qureshi

A strategic, values-driven leader with a deep-rooted commitment to enhancing quality, safety, and innovation in health and social care. With a proven track record in overseeing and transforming services across home care, residential care, intermediate care, supported and assisted living, specialist care and reablement, I bring forward-thinking leadership that centres on dignity, compassion, and outcomes. In my role as Head of Safeguarding & Compliance, and as a CQC Nominated Individual, I provide executive oversight to ensure regulatory excellence, safe practice, and robust governance frameworks. I am passionate about embedding evidence-based NICE guidelines and quality improvement methodologies that empower frontline teams and elevate standards across the continuum of care. My leadership ethos is built around collaboration, strategic insight, and the pursuit of excellence. I have supported organisations through complex change initiatives, led successful business development and outsourcing programmes, and played a pivotal role in streamlining and modernising service delivery. I am particularly passionate about the ethical and safe integration of AI in health and social care, recognising its transformative potential in enhancing decision-making, personalisation, and operational efficiency always with a focus on patient safety and human-centred care. As a firm believer in bridging the gap between research and practice, I actively advocate for embedding a research culture within social care. I champion partnerships between academia and care providers, believing that evidence-based innovation must be translated into frontline action to elevate standards, improve decision-making, and future-proof care systems. Highlights of my work include: • Spearheading collaborative projects with NHS, local authorities, and third-sector partners to improve outcomes for elderly and vulnerable individuals. • Strengthening partnerships and cross-sector alliances to drive system-wide improvements • Providing executive leadership in safeguarding, compliance, and workforce development • Leading business process outsourcing (BPO) with measurable impact • Facilitating strategic growth, transformation, and regulatory readiness • Championing a culture of learning, safety, and continuous improvement I welcome connections with fellow leaders, researchers, commissioners, and innovators who share a vision for a safer, smarter, and more collaborative future in health and social care.
