A private cosmetic surgery hospital in Knowsley has been told it must improve after inspectors found out-of-date medicine, a clinic wall covered in damp and an extraction grill in a surgical theatre “visibly dusty.”
Problems with staff training were also identified following the first Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection carried out at ASET Hospital on Sandstone Drive in Whiston.
During the inspection in December 2022 at the private facility – which carries out cosmetic surgery and other procedures – CQC officials found no evidence of temperature checks being carried out and from a sample of medications, some were found to be “out of date and so were not safe to use.”
