We carried out an announced comprehensive inspection of the Dr Leah Cosmetic Skin Clinics (the service) on 30 September 2022, as part of our inspection programme. This was the first inspection of the service since the CQC introduced ratings for independent healthcare providers.
Dr Leah Cosmetic Skin Clinics provide private non-surgical cosmetic treatments for patients aged 18 and over from three clinics: 10 Glentworth Street, Marylebone (Baker Street Clinic); 24 Chiswell Street, London (Moorgate Clinic); and 14 York Hill, Loughton (Essex Clinic). The Baker Street Clinic is the flagship clinic and headquarters for the service; and where regulated activities are delivered from.
This service is registered with CQC under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 in respect of some, but not all, of the services it provides. The service is registered to provide the regulated activities of Treatment of Disease, Disorder and Injury; Diagnostic and Screening; and Surgical Procedures. 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. Dr Leah Cosmetic Skin Clinics provides a range of non-surgical cosmetic interventions, for example hair loss treatments, fat reduction injections and skin hydration treatments which are not within CQC scope of registration. Therefore, we did not inspect, or report on these services.
The service has a 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.
