SAVE FACE ACCREDITED

Proud to be registered with save face

Safety at Thames Skin Clinic is paramount and to prove this we have been inspected and checked against save face’s robust set of standards to get our accreditation. Save Face is a national register of Accredited practitioners who provide non-surgical cosmetic treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers.

Their register is accredited by Professional Standards Authority and is recognised by the Government, The Department of Health, NHS England and The Care Quality Commission.

Save face understand that selecting a safe practitioner can be extremely challenging. In an industry that is inadequately regulated and unaccountable many people are only influenced by price – or they are pressured into having treatments with time-limited deals and discounts that can ultimately leave them feeling regretful and disappointed. When choosing to have a non-surgical cosmetic procedure, selecting the right practitioner is vital! They don’t believe in taking chances and nor should you, especially when it comes to your health and appearance. There is no greater consequence than leaving either in the hands of someone who is unqualified and untrained.

Save Face visit each clinic location and undertake ALL the checks on your behalf, so you can be assured when you select a practitioner from this register;

– They are who they say they are

– They are a registered nurse/midwife, doctor, dentist or prescribing pharmacist with specialist training and insurance in each treatment listed on their profile

– They use licensed products sourced from reputable suppliers

– They have all of the necessary paperwork in place to protect you from undue risk and harm

– Their practice standards meet the requirements to provide you with safe treatments, in a safe environment.

CQC registered

We are inspected by the Care Quality Commission

As a medical aesthetics clinic, at Thames Skin Clinic, you aren’t ‘clients’ or ‘customers’. You’re under our care and therefore, our patients.

⁠As a doctor-led clinic, we have a duty of care to you – and that means your well-being comes first in everything we do.⁠

⁠You might think of us as offering a service or delivering treatments, but actually, we provide care – helping our patients reach their personal goals with the highest standards of safety & ethics.⁠

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is the regulator of healthcare in England and Wales; they monitor, inspect and regulate healthcare services to ensure they meet fundamental standards of quality and safety.

Thames Skin Clinic is registered with the CQC to deliver the regulated activities of Treatment of Disease, Disorder and Injury, Diagnostic and Screening Procedures, Surgical Procedures and Services in Slimming Clinics.

When the CQC carry out inspections, their aim is to make sure that the services offered are:

Safe
Effective
Caring
Responsive
Well-led

Once inspected, the CQC rate the clinic and publish their findings openly on their website.

This recognition is so essential for our patients for several reasons:

– It demonstrates that our clinic meets rigorous quality standards and is safe for patients.⁠

– It shows that our team is competent and knowledgeable in a field where there is, unfortunately, a lack of regulation in many areas.
