Organisations have partnered with University College London (UCL) to collect survey results on patient experiences following botulinum toxin injections.
The Joint Council of Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP), the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) and UCL have collaborated with the aim to strengthen patient safety through evidence-based practice.
The survey, made available via the JCCP and promoted across social media, closed on May 31. UCL expects to publish the findings in June to inform the UK Government’s forthcoming consultation on regulating non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
Professor David Sines, chair of the JCCP, commented, “The JCCP is delighted to have again been selected by the UCL research team to participate as a partner. This study aims to gather objective evidence to inform key issues relating to patient safety and public protection that will inform the design and implementation principles for the Government’s proposed upcoming scheme of licensing and regulation for the cosmetic specialty in the UK.”
