Patients did not realise they had consented to treatment at a Liverpool pregnancy scanning service, according to health inspection findings.
The Care Quality Commission compiled a list of concerns it found when inspectors visited Ultrasound Ltd at the Cotton Exchange, Bixteth Street. As a result, the private ultrasound scanning clinic has been deemed to require improvement.
Among the issues found were the inconsistent approach to infection control, with staff failing to use measures to “protect women, themselves, and others from infection”. The report from the June inspection said the service did not always ensure specialist equipment was maintained or manage clinical waste well.
