We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at Ai Beauty Clinic as part of our inspection programme of a new provider registration for the service. This was a first rated inspection for the service that was registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in July 2020. During this inspection we inspected safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led key questions.
Ai Beauty Clinic is an independent private clinic providing medical aesthetic treatments located in Central London, the Borough of Westminster.
This service is 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 services and these are set out in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. Ai Beauty Clinic provides a range of non-surgical cosmetic interventions, for example dermal fillers, lip fillers and Botox injections which are not within the CQC scope of registration. Therefore, we did not inspect or report on these services.
Our key findings were:
- The service had a range of policies and procedures to govern activity.
- The provider organised and delivered services to meet patients’ needs.
- Patients could access care and treatment from the service within an appropriate timescale for their needs.
The areas where the provider should make improvements are:
- Review emergency medicines and implement a risk assessment for any not stocked.
- Display sharps injury poster in clinical rooms.
- Review and update medicines prescribing policy.
- Develop communication with NHS GP.
