Our view of the service
Date of Assessment: 9 January 2025 to 9 January 2025. Elements Medical Limited is an independent clinic located in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. The service offers CQC-regulated medical services and weight management services online (which was currently in the process of being sold to another provider at the time of this inspection), as well as some non-regulated aesthetic services. Other procedures offered by the service that are CQC regulated include treatments for skin conditions including acne, treatments for excessive sweating and headaches, vitamin injections, weight management. On 10 October 2024 we suspended the provider from carrying out these CQC regulated activities due to concerns about the safety of patients. We carried out this 9 January unannounced assessment of 4 quality statements to assess compliance with the issues from the urgent suspension of regulated activity, we had imposed. The service was not in breach of any further legal regulations at this inspection. We issued requirement notices at our October 2024 inspection for other breaches of regulations relating to dignity and respect, staffing, fit and proper persons employed, need for consent. The provider will supply us with an action plan relating to these, at a mutually agreed date. This inspection was to follow up on the concerns of safety and governance which we identified during the October 2024 inspection that led to the CQC suspending the provider from delivering regulated activities. Despite finding some improvements in the areas of safe and well led, and our decision not to renew or extend the suspension order, the service will remain rated as Inadequate and in Special Measures until we are able to carry out a further, more comprehensive inspection, of the service.
