Whether you're a practitioner, or patient, this episode breaks down the importance of the DHSC’s response, what it changes and why it's only the beginning.

As the attention of regulators and enforcement officers now focuses on the products used and their provenance, the JCCP continues to advise practitioners to be diligent in their procurement practices. We understand the legislative complexities that apply, but there are straightforward measures that can be taken to ensure safety and compliance with the law. The following video highlights these measures. It provides a basic insight into supply routes and recommends simple expedients relating to UK registered pharmacies and to authorised suppliers.
The government consultation on a new licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures is attracting a good deal of media interest and much comment on social media too. Alongside the facts and the figures there are also a number of myths and inaccuracies. It is important that we dispel any inaccuracies and ensure that everyone – including practitioners and members of the public – has a proper understanding of the new proposed licensing scheme.
The following video provides important insight into the journey and evolution of the proposed licensing framework. The JCCP recommends the above CPD accredited tools to its Registrants.
