The Pemberdeen Laser Cosmetic Surgery Clinic Limited is operated by The Pemberdeen Laser Cosmetic Surgery Clinic Limited (Ltd). The clinic opened in 1985 and was originally registered under a different name to provide regulated activities. The hospital primarily serves patients from London and North Kent, but it also accepts referrals from the wider community. The service provided a range of cosmetic surgery procedures, including breast augmentation, liposuction, brachioplasty, and abdominoplasty. When fully operational, approximately 95% of procedures were breast augmentations.
The service did not provide care to NHS-funded patients or to anyone under the age of 18. At the time of this inspection, there was no registered manager in place, and the nominated individual role had not been appointed. Following our inspection of 21 August 2025, we took urgent enforcement action to suspend the registration of the provider until they met the regulations highlighted as being breached in the report. The providers suspension of registration remains in place. We undertook an inspection on 20 November to assess compliance with the regulations.
The provider confirmed that there had been no procedures undertaken at the hospital during this time

We carried out an announced, focused inspection on 20 November 2025 to follow up on the findings from our previous assessment on 21 August 2025. An announced inspection means the provider was informed of the date and time of our visit.
At the August 2025 inspection, we rated the provider inadequate overall and took regulatory action to suspend the registration of the provider.
This hospital location has been inspected 23 times since its registration, including inspections under its former name. The most recent inspection on 20 November 2025 was conducted by a lead inspector and a second inspector on site.
At our last inspection, we found there was no registered manager in post and no nominated individual appointed. We were told that a third-party management company previously employed by the service was no longer involved with Pemberdeen Laser Cosmetic Surgery Ltd. and the clinic manager had ceased their involvement with the service.
At this inspection, we found the service still lacked processes for establishing systems to ensure compliance with regulations. Many aspects of the service, such as good governance processes, oversight of staffing used at the service and processes for the safe care and treatment of patients, continued to fall below the minimum standards required. The lack of infrastructure placed patients at risk of harm. We have rated the service inadequate and identified ongoing regulatory breaches.
