Healthcare regulation within aesthetics is a hot topic. The public consultation regarding the new proposed licensing scheme is emphasising the need for practitioners in England to consider if they require registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This presentation will clarify some of the key questions around what services fall into the scope of registration and what a clinic needs to consider to go through the process smoothly. The session will help to guide those already registered to prepare for future rating inspections and touch upon the changes that are currently being planned for the new inspection process.
