Background to this inspection
Updated
10 January 2020
The Treatment Rooms is operated by RDA Medical Limited. The service opened in 2017. It is a private clinic in London and primarily serves the local communities.
The hospital also offers cosmetic procedures such as Botox injections. We did not inspect this service because these types of injections do not fall within CQC’s scope of registration.
Dr Dilan Fernando is the CQC nominated individual and medical director. Dr Roshan Vara is the CQC registered manager, and the managing director of the service. Both doctors are responsible for running the service and perform hair transplant surgery. Both doctors are registered with the General Medical Council.
The provider did not employ any other permanent staff. A hair technician was hired on an ad hoc basis to support the surgeons for procedures as required.
The clinic is open Monday to Saturday and patients are seen by appointment only. Patients who had surgery had access to the surgeons through a dedicated telephone number, which they were given following an operation.

We inspected this service using our comprehensive inspection methodology. We carried out a short-announced inspection on 5 November 2019.
To get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment, we ask the same five questions of all services: are they safe, effective, caring, responsive to people's needs, and well-led? Where we have a legal duty to do so we rate services’ performance against each key question as outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate.
Throughout the inspection, we took account of what people told us and how the provider understood and complied with the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
