‘Supporting patients to live healthier lives’
Source: Slimmingmedics Reading Inspection report 08/06/2021
Our weight loss programmes are led by doctors and our clinics are registered with the CQC (Care Quality Commission). Both High Wycombe and Reading (Lower Early) achieved an overall rating of Good at recent inspections.
The CQC require care setting to meet certain high standards to be allowed to operate and awarding a rate of good means that there are no areas that require improvement.
Here is what the CQC say:
‘There are five questions we ask of all care services. They’re at the heart of the way we regulate and they help us to make sure we focus on the things that matter to people.’

The 5 questions or standards are:
- Are they safe?
- Are they effective?
- Are they caring?
- Are they responsive to people’s needs?
- Are they well led?
We are very happy to have achieved a standard of ‘Good’ in all areas. Please see the link to the full reports on the CQC website.
