The Joint Council of Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) has issued its 2024-2025 Annual Report.
The report outlines milestones in its ongoing efforts to raise standards and improve patient safety within the UK’s non-surgical aesthetics sector. Among the notable achievements within the report is the advancement of the JCCP’s public protection agenda, including a marked increase in practitioner registrations and the strengthening of its Code of Practice. The Council reported a 20% year-on-year growth in accredited registrants.
The report also highlights the JCCP’s involvement in government consultations on aesthetics regulation, contributing specialist advice on practitioner licensing, education standards and patient safeguarding. In addition, the JCCP continued its collaboration with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) to address misleading advertising practices in the aesthetics specialty.
Professor David Sines, chair of the JCCP, commented, “The JCCP has been functioning for six years since its inception in 2018. Our 2024 Annual Report demonstrates the significant progress that the organisation has made in influencing and shaping Government policy in the interests of patient safety and public protection. The JCCP has worked collaboratively with multiple stakeholders in order to generate a collective voice of reason that has resulted in significant progress with regard to regulation of the aesthetic sector during the last year. I would like to extend my thanks to our multiple partners and colleagues who have assisted us in our endeavours.”
