Our view of the service
Date of Assessment: 18 March and 24 June 2025.
Our previous inspection of this service took place in April 2023 when the service was rated as requires improvement overall, with requires improvement for the safe and well-led key questions and good for effective, caring and responsive key questions. The reason for the assessment was to follow up on the areas which were rated as requires improvement at our last inspection.
A Vita Limited provides a private aesthetics service for fee paying clients. This service is registered with CQC under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 in respect of some, but not all, of the services they provide.
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. For example, they offered a range of non-surgical cosmetic interventions, such as dermal filler injections, anti-wrinkle treatments and laser hair reduction, which are not within CQC scope of registration. Therefore, we did not inspect these services.
The provider offered the following services which were within the scope of registration: -
- Excision of lesions
- Upper and lower blepharoplasty
- Slimming medication
There is a nominated individual and a separate registered manager. A registered manager is a person who is registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated regulations about how the service is run.
We found two breaches of the legal regulations in relation to safe care and treatment and good governance.
The regulation breach for safe care and treatment was in relation to infection control and safe management of medicines.
The regulation breach for good governance was in relation to there being no clear oversight of governance.
We have asked the provider for action plans in relation to both of these breaches of regulation.
