- Dr Louise Newson's private clinic, Newson Health Ltd, has been rated "outstanding" by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) following a recent inspection.
- The inspection was initiated due to concerns raised in a BBC Panorama documentary 18 months ago regarding the clinic's prescription of potentially high doses of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
- The CQC rated the Stratford-upon-Avon clinic as “outstanding” and found the service was "performing exceptionally well", noting its commitment to supporting women with care that met their needs and improved their quality of life.
- This new rating marks an upgrade from the clinic's previous "good" rating in 2019, with the CQC praising its strong leadership and dedicated staff.
- Dr Newson expressed pride in the recognition, stating it independently confirms the clinic's clinically grounded, robustly governed and patient-first approach.
