During a routine inspection
Hey Baby 4D - The Revive Healthy Living Centre is operated by Hey Baby 4D Limited.
The service provides a baby scanning service which includes reassurance scans, gender determination scans and non-invasive pregnancy testing. We inspected diagnostic imaging.
We inspected this service using our comprehensive inspection methodology. We carried out the short notice announced part of the inspection on 16th January 2019. To get to the heart of patients’ experiences of care and treatment, we ask the same five questions of all services: are they safe, effective, caring, responsive to people's needs, and well-led? Where we have a legal duty to do so we rate services’ performance against each key question as outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate.
Throughout the inspection, we took account of what people told us and how the provider understood and complied with the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
