Eight bodies.One defensible practice.

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence

Sets the evidence-based clinical guidance the NHS works to. Every one of my clinical courses aligns to NICE pathways.

Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners

The voluntary register for safe non-surgical aesthetics. Risk-based competence framework I teach against.

Cosmetic Practice Standards Authority

Sets the procedural and competence standards behind the JCCP register. Where Green / Amber / Red logic was formalised.

Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency

Regulates products and devices used in non-surgical aesthetics. Higher scrutiny applies to higher-risk procedures.

Care Quality Commission

Already regulates Red-category procedures. Enforces a risk-escalation model consistent with the Traffic Light approach.

Nursing and Midwifery Council

The statutory regulator for UK nurses. Bernadette is registered, verifiable on the NMC public register.

Royal College of Nursing

The largest UK nursing union and professional body. AU's clinical voice sits inside that tradition.

Advertising Standards Authority

Polices what aesthetics practitioners can claim in marketing. I teach ASA-safe content as a core module.
