TYCT Welcomes New Guidance on Cosmetic Non-surgical Treatments From the GMC Yet Warns Patients Still at Risk
Urges GDC and NMC to Issue Guidance by Autumn 2016 to Ensure Patients Safety.
 
The UK’s original voluntary register, <a title="www.TreatmentsYouCanTrust.org.uk" href="http://www.TreatmentsYouCanTrust.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.TreatmentsYouCanTrust.org.uk</a>, of professionally regulated providers, namely doctors, dentists and registered nurses of cosmetic non-surgical treatments - <a title="Botulinum Toxin and Botox information" href="/Treatment/botulinum-toxin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Botox®</a> and <a title="Dermal Filler Information" href="/Treatment/dermal-filler-injections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dermal fillers</a> - has welcomed new guidance from the General Medical Council (GMC) which also advises patients how to find a safe provider by searching the TYCT register.
The guidance Cosmetic procedures: what do I need to consider? has been released by the GMC following an 18-month review, which Sally Taber, Director of Treatments You Can Trust was closely involved in, having established the register in 2010 with Government funding.
The GMC, which regulates nearly 275 thousand doctors across the UK, has recommended patients consult a Register such as www.TreatmentsYouCanTrust.org.uk to find a provider who has the appropriate training and meets the strict standards to administer Botox® and dermal fillers safely and in appropriate premises.
Whilst the announcement is welcomed by Treatments You Can Trust, its Director Sally Taber is already lobbying the General Dental Council (GDC) and Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) to follow suit by Autumn 2016, ahead of peak demand for Botox® and dermal fillers during the Christmas season.
 
Sally Taber says, 
<blockquote>
"We are delighted that the GMC has recognised voluntary registration with <a href="http://www.TreatmentsYouCanTrust.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.TreatmentsYouCanTrust.org.uk</a>, yet it is disappointing that this much needed advice has not been published jointly with the General Dental Council (GDC) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). All three professions undertake the same non-surgical cosmetic treatments and the three professions should speak with one voice where patient care is concerned. We would welcome similar guidance.”
We will ask all professions on the Treatments you can Trust Register to display the GMC guidance where all patients can see it.”
