8 August 2022

During a routine inspection

We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection at EK Aesthetics on 8 August 2022.

This was the first inspection of the clinic since it was registered with CQC in April 2021.

We based our judgement of the quality of care at this service on a combination of:

  • What we found when we inspected.
  • Information from our ongoing monitoring of data about services.
  • Information from the provider, clients, the public and other organisations.

How we carried out the inspection:

During the inspection, we visited all areas of the service. We spoke with the registered manager, who is a nurse prescriber. We also spoke with a nurse prescriber who was employed by the service. We reviewed comments from clients collected by the service. We reviewed five sets of client records.

We have rated this service as Good overall.

We found that:

  • The service had good systems to ensure clients received safe and effective care and treatment.
  • There was an effective system to identify and safeguard people from abuse.
  • The service ensured that care and treatment was delivered according to evidence-based guidelines and reviewed the appropriateness of care provided.
  • Staff treated people with kindness, dignity and respect. The service had received positive client feedback.
  • Clients could access care and treatment when it was convenient for them and within short timescales.
  • There was a focus on learning and improvement and staff professional development.
