A beauty clinic offering nose jobs to children has been slammed after an inspection found staff didn’t have the proper training to carry out the procedures. The service was rated inadequate by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) after it believed patients were “at risk of harm” unless urgent action was taken.
The cosmetic surgery clinic performs rhinoplasty on teenagers aged 16 to 18, which doesn’t legally require parental consent. However, there was no record of child safeguarding training to protect them from abuse, according to the report now published, following an inspection on March 10.
London Hair Transplant Clinic mostly carries out hair transplants, but for the past year or so has also begun to offer more invasive cosmetic surgery procedures including breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, liposuction and abdominoplasty. Inspectors also found that there weren’t enough staff on hand to care for patients and keep them safe, urine bottles and bed pans were disposed of incorrectly, medicines weren’t stored safely, and the theatres were dirty, MyLondon reports.
