What is BCAM

What is BCAM?

The British College of Aesthetic Medicine (BCAM) exists to advance safe and ethical aesthetic medicine for the benefit of medical practitioners and members of the public. They represent doctors and dentists in a unified manner, protecting their interests, promoting high standards of patient care and working with the government to improve regulation in the aesthetic medicine sector.

BCAM was founded in 2001 by some of the pioneers of aesthetic medicine and continues to represent members who are innovators in the field. The College puts patient care at its heart and campaigns for government regulation of aesthetic treatments such as medical devices, injectables and botulinum toxin.

Did you know...

The UK is the only country in the world that does not regulate aesthetic treatments, putting patients at huge risk. This is why we are seeing an epidemic of complications and botched treatments in the UK. I find this extremely worrying especially for the younger generation who may be less risk averse, not research their practitioner effectively and can be influenced by trends on social media. By choosing a BCAM member, you can be reassured you are being treated by a healthcare professional with years of medical training and experience with the clinics using safe licensed products.

 

All BCAM members are:

  • Are registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) or General Dental Council (GDC) with a licence to practice

  • Must meet the stringent requirements of the College to gain and retain their membership

  • Must attend regular educational and scientific meetings
