All Health Matters Limited is the registered provider of services carried out at the location Castle House. We carried out an on-site assessment of Castle House on 14 February 2024 and our off-site assessment activity on 27 February 2024. We looked at 5 quality statements: Safe systems, effective staffing, medicines optimisation, assessing needs, and outcomes and governance, management and sustainability. Regulated activities provided at this location are carried out by nurses and include pre-travel health assessments, travel health advice, anti-malarial medications, travel vaccinations and non-travel vaccinations. The clinic is also a registered yellow fever vaccination centre. This service is registered with CQC under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 in respect of some, but not all, of the services it provides. There are some exemptions from regulation by CQC which relate to particular types of service and these are set out in Schedule 2 of The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. At Castle House those occupational health related services provided to customers under arrangements made by their employer or a government department are exempt by law from CQC regulation. Therefore they did not fall into the scope of our inspection. The travel clinic is an independent private clinic situated in the town centre of Canterbury.
