No official definition was found in the guidance checked from the CQC, GOV.UK and the Advertising Standards Authority. The CQC registers the services a clinic provides, such as diagnostic and screening procedures, rather than what the clinic calls itself. Each listing shows the clinic’s CQC registration where one was found.
