Beauty op clinic rated as inadequate again
Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspectors have given Alexandra Private Hospital in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, an ‘inadequate’ rating again following an unannounced inspection in February and March to follow up on previous concerns.
The independent hospital, run by Alexandra Health Care Limited, provides cosmetic surgery to self-funding patients.
Bosses have been told to display the current CQC rating at the hospital location and on their website; ensure they support patients to give informed consent for revision or return surgery following the original procedures; and ensure electrical items are safety tested and safe to use.
They must also implement effective governance processes to enable sufficient oversight of performance, quality and risk; see that all patient and staff information is stored as per General Data Protection Regulations; and ensure patients are able to access appropriate and timely clinical advice after surgical procedures.
