All Inspections

During a routine inspection

Whiteson Hair Loss Consultancy Limited provided consultations and treatments for adults with varying degrees of hair loss.The service was located in a comfortable, private room, within a residential house. No surgical treatments or hair transplants were provided by the service.

We sampled three patient records and found these to be legible, comprehensive and a detailed record of treatments provided.

The treatment for hair loss consisted of medication and a lotion which was prescribed and provided by the doctor following consultations.

We saw the medications were stored securely in a locked cabinet.

The service was provided by the doctor who was also the registered manager. No other staff were employed.

When we spoke with one patient, a high level of satisfaction was expressed. "I have been coming here now for almost 10 months and I have been satisfied with the treatment", "The doctor explains everything and I have no complaints at all".

During a routine inspection

During our visit to the service we looked at four patient records, policies and procedures, information and evidence relating to the treatment provided and patients' survey information. We also spoke with the doctor who provided the service and one person attending for a follow-up appointment.

The records and documentation we reviewed, information provided by the doctor and feedback from person we spoke with assured us appropriate steps had been taken to ensure patients' care needs were met and they were protected from the risks of unsafe or inappropriate care.
