Ahead of the Keogh review on the Regulation of Cosmetic Interventions in March, BABTAC (The British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology) has expressed alarm that certain pro-medic organisations are irresponsibly scaremongering the public at a critical time.
BABTAC (The British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology) has spoken out bluntly over various medical bodies scaremongering across the media with biased misinformation when the Sir Bruce Keogh government review over cosmetic Interventions is about to impartially and fairly report on evidence and data collected.
BABTAC chair Carolyne Cross says, The Department of Health panel will soon base their findings from all the areas they have consulted, restoring public trust. The medical community should be focussing on the positive synergy that is emerging for all professions to work with each other and create change. The need for the creation of a standardised learning framework amongst dynamic trained professionals administering cosmetic intervention treatments is upon us but certain organisations like Treatments You Can Trust (TYCT), The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) and British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) seem intent on stirring up the media and scaremongering public opinion just when this much needed impartial and non profession specific government review is about to take place.
An approved training route where prior learning is acknowledged and standardised is vital. Questionable practice, rogue traders and poor training, harming vulnerable consumers can arise from all professional sectors. BABTAC support a standardised national regulatory and auditable, approved qualification endorsed by a national accredited platform, fulfilling both aesthetic and the necessary clinical/pharmaceutical procedures.
BABTAC welcome the timely NHS Medical Directors review in March as an opportunity to establish a standardised regulatory framework for cosmetic injectables to stamp out malpractice by inadequately trained individuals (medically trained or otherwise); to raise quality standards; and to provide people who undergo cosmetic procedures with the assurance of safety so they can make informed decisions. These will be achieved by providing standardised training pathways covering clinical and aesthetic matters in tandem with all professions.
BABTAC insists that Sir Bruce Keoghs imminent government review is the platform where this subject will be fairly tackled with the appropriate representation without the medical community resorting to last minute public scare tactics.
Until then...geek on!
