We carried out our first announced comprehensive inspection at Slimmerz Rotherham on 08 July 2021. This was carried out as part of our inspection programme following the registration of a new service.
The clinic manager is the 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.
Our key findings were:
- Arrangements were in place to support good infection prevention practices including appropriate social distancing.
The areas where the provider should make improvements are:
- Only supply unlicensed medicines against valid special clinical needs of an individual patient where there is no suitable licensed medicine available
- Review effectiveness of the new system to share information with other Healthcare Professionals sent to us after inspection becoming part of the embedded practice at the clinic.
