Mr Jan Jiri Stanek

Updated 13 April 2022

Dr Stanek is the registered provider for the clinic. The provider is registered to carry out the regulated activity of treatment of disease, disorder or injury at Flat 19, Milford House, 7 Queen Anne Street, London, W1G 8HN.

Mr Jan Jiri Stanek is a private cosmetic clinic offering a range of cosmetic surgery and non-invasive treatments for patients over the age of 18 years. The clinic does not have any overnight beds; patients that require surgery or overnight beds are admitted to a private hospital.

The service’s staff consists of Mr Stanek (a cosmetic surgeon), a consultant physician, and a non-clinical administrator. There was also a practice nurse who was self-employed and carried out some procedures at the premises, which were not part of this inspection.

The consultant physician carried out some cosmetic procedures which were exempt from regulation by CQC which relate to particular types of regulated activities and clinics and these are set out in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. Mr Jan Jiri Stanek provides a range of non-surgical cosmetic interventions which are not within CQC scope of registration, for example body contouring, dermal fillers, Botox (with the exception of treatment for a medical condition), chemical peels, and skin laser treatments. Therefore, we did not inspect or report on these services.

The clinic’s website states that it carries out minor surgery, however this is no longer carried out at Flat 19, Milford House, 7 Queen, Anne Street, London, W1G 8HN.

Patients could contact the clinic 24 hours a day via the provider website. Consultations were available face to face, on an ‘as requested’ basis from Monday to Friday, with the exception of Tuesdays when Dr Stanek worked at a hospital.

How we inspected this clinic

• Prior to the inspection information was requested from the provider.
• A site visit was carried out, where we spoke with staff, reviewed patients records and the clinic documents.

This was a focused inspection where we assessed whether the provider had made improvements since our previous inspection in 2021, and therefore we only looked at the well-led key question.

We carried out a focused inspection of Mr Jan Jiri Stanek on the 1 April 2022, to review whether the service had made improvements in response to the breach of regulation we identified in October 2021.

Mr Jan Jiri Stanek is a private cosmetic clinic offering a range of cosmetic surgery and non-invasive treatments for adult patients. The clinic does not have any overnight beds; patients that required surgery or overnight beds are admitted to a private hospital.

The clinic was registered with CQC under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 in respect of some, but not all, of the services it provides. There are some exemptions from regulation by CQC which relate to particular types of regulated activities and clinics and these are set out in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. Mr Jan Jiri Stanek provides a range of non-surgical cosmetic interventions which are not within CQC scope of registration. For example, body contouring, dermal fillers, Botox (with the exception of treatment for a medical condition), chemical peels, and skin laser treatments. These types of arrangements are exempt by law from CQC regulation.

The clinic sought patient feedback on the quality of clinical care from patients through questionnaires and through the clinic’s website. The provider submitted evidence to demonstrate that out of 20 recent reviews all had described the quality of the clinical care as good or very good.

Our key findings were:

• The provider had made improvements following the previous inspection and had embedded new systems to enhance good goverance, with both risk assessments and training being reviewed and completed.

Although we did not identify any breaches of Regulation, the areas where the provider should make improvements are:

• Review fire safety legislation and guidance in full to ensure this is adhered to.
