Earlier this year Health Education England recommended that any register of non-surgical practitioners should become accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). In doing so, Save Face has become first body to take the Keogh and HEE recommendations and successfully implement them in a much needed model, becoming a respected regulatory organization. The PSA recommends that the public only use registers who have met their rigorous standards. This means that aesthetic practice is now recognised as a healthcare service in the UK, which helps to distinguish the field from the wider beauty industry.
As an Accredited Register, Save Face is now part of a programme recognised by the Government, The Department of Health, NHS England, The Care Quality Commission and Health Education England. As a member, Rippon Medical Services is one of the first registered non-surgical aesthetic clinics in Cumbria. This means that we are part of a `PSA accredited register, recognised by the Government and the statutory regulators. Rippon Medical Services continually demonstrates our commitment to high professional standards, enhancing safety and delivering a better service. The accredited registers programme was set up by the Government to improve standards and safety for the benefit of the public. For more information contact jane@ripponmedicalservices.co.uk
