During a routine inspection
Care was planned and delivered in a way to ensure peoples' safety and welfare. People were treated by staff that had been appropriately recruited and had undergone the necessary pre-employment checks. All people were assessed by a consultant and had a pre-operative assessment to determine whether the proposed procedure was appropriate or not. People received follow-up appointments to ensure their wounds were healing as expected. Medical records and records relating to the service were stored securely and were fit for purpose.
People were protected from the risk of unsafe equipment. The clinic used both disposable and reusable instruments. There were maintenance contracts in place to ensure that all machinery was working correctly. These were only operated by staff that had been trained to do so.
