The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority publishes the register of health and social care services it regulates in Northern Ireland as downloadable service lists, covering adult placement agencies, day care settings, domiciliary care agencies, independent clinics and other registered service types.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
Open The register is published as downloadable spreadsheets rather than as an interactive query form. The files are served without an account or sign-in step, and there is no search interface to describe.
Assessment
Strengths
The register is published free of charge and without an account, including an all-registered-services file covering every service type at once.
Publishing the whole register as a downloadable dataset makes bulk checking and record matching straightforward.
It is the dedicated Northern Ireland register, which no Great Britain regulator covers.
Limitations
There is no interactive search. The register is a set of downloadable spreadsheets, so a single-provider lookup means opening a file rather than running a query.
A downloaded file is a snapshot dated when it was published, so it can be out of date by the time it is read.
Registration means a service is registered and subject to inspection. It does not establish current compliance or quality.
Submission guidance
Records are created through incorporation, registration, filing, or statutory processes.

Best for
Obtaining the full list of services registered with RQIA in Northern Ireland as a dataset.
Checking whether a named Northern Ireland care or health service type is registered.
Not recommended for
Looking up a single provider quickly, because the register is published as files to download rather than as a search.
Checking services in England, Scotland or Wales, each of which has its own regulator.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
