Background to this inspection

Updated 12 October 2018

We undertook a focused desk top inspection of Southern Slimming & Cosmetic Clinics Limited (Southampton) on 19 September 2018. The desk top inspection was carried out to check that improvements had been made at the service following our comprehensive inspection on 10 October 2017. The inspection in October 2017 identified that the service was in breach of regulation 13 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

The team was led by a CQC pharmacist specialist who had access to advice from a specialist advisor.

Before undertaking the desk top inspection, we asked the registered manager to provide evidence to demonstrate the service was now compliant with the regulations.

To get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment, we always ask the following five questions:

  • Is it safe?

These questions therefore formed the framework for the areas we looked at during the inspection.
