This was the first time we inspected the children and young people service.
We found one breach of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, in relation to Regulation 12: Safe care and treatment.
Renew Skin and Health Clinic Limited was a small private clinic located in Leamington Spa. The clinic was registered to provide surgical procedures, diagnostic and screening procedures, and treatment of disease, disorder or injury. Treatment offered included minor surgical procedures, including hair transplants and the removal of lumps and bumps, dermatology, and GP services. The service was registered to treat adults over the age of 18, children aged 4 to 12 and young people aged 13 to 17.
Th clinic mainly undertook aesthetic procedures that were outside of the scope of a regulated activity. We completed a previous inspection of adult surgical services at Renew Skin & Health clinic in February and March 2025, as the service also was registered to offer care and treatment to children and young people, we completed a return visit on 10 September 2025. At the time of this inspection, no regulated activity for children or young people had been undertaken by the service. However, the service was registered to provide a regulated activity for children and young people and so we needed to ensure the provider had the appropriate processes in place to deliver safe care and treatment to children and young people.
We will refer back to the adult surgical report published in June 2025 for many of the evidence categories and scoring.
From April 2024 to August 2025, 7 children or young people attended the clinic for treatment. However, none of the treatments, for example treatments using a Co2 laser, came into scope of a regulated activity.
The clinic had no overnight beds. Facilities included a theatre, a recovery room, 3 laser treatment rooms, a consultation room and a waiting area.
A team of 1 on site inspector and 1 offsite operations manager inspected the service on 10 September 2025. We spoke to 3 members of staff. There were no children or young people booked for an appointment at the time of our inspection. We reviewed 7 patient files and the personnel files of all 4 staff who were substantively employed at the clinic and 5 staff files for doctors working at the service with practising privileges.
This was the first time we inspected the service.
We found two breaches of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, in relation to Regulation 19: Fit and proper persons employed, and Regulation 17: Good governance.
