A Merseyside clinic that provides shockwave therapy to both NHS and private sector patients has been given an inadequate rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Impact Medical Limited offers treatment to both adults and children, undertaking two clinics per month at dedicated children's hospitals. The service operates from a base site in Aintree which until May of this year had never been inspected by the CQC.
A warning notice has been served by the inspectors to make "immediate improvements" after it was deemed Impact Medical had failed to comply with serval safeguarding legislations. A requirement notice was also put in place to improve standards.
