Date of Assessment: 09 September 2025 to 12 September 2025.
We carried out a comprehensive inspection at Slimmerz Rotherham due to a change in their registration in September 2024. Slimmerz Rotherham is an independent clinic and delivers assessment, treatment and management of obesity and weight loss, coupled with weight management related lifestyle advice and offers tablet-based weight loss medications. The service is provided from a single storey, rented unit at 64 Wellgate, Rotherham and is only open for appointments between the hours of 11am and 1pm every Saturday morning. Service users pay an initial registration fee and then a weekly charge for medication thereafter.
The service is provided by a registered nurse who is also the registered manager. A registered manager is a person who is registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons.’ Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated regulations about how the service is run.
There is also a GP who works for 2 hours per week at the service and a couple of administrative roles including a receptionist and a policy maker. For the purposes of this report, we will refer to the team as the ‘staff’.
On the day of our site visit inspection (9 September 2025) the clinic was not open to patients. The provider facilitated access for CQC to gather evidence onsite.
