Keogh Report - Department of Health review of the regulation of cosmetic interventions

Today the Department of Health has published its recommendations on the regulation of cosmetic interventions. 

Key recommendations include:

• Use of the GMC Specialist Registers as confirmation that only surgeons on a specialist register should perform cosmetic surgery, working within the scope of their specific specialist register training
• Mandated development and use of appropriate outcome measures that will apply to private practice as well as for NHS patients
• Mandated development of a breast implant registry with longer term use of tracking by device identifiers
• Restrictions on advertising including ban on financial incentives
• Recognition of the importance of patient information, understanding and provision of considered consent

Registration for Burn Scarring: The next five years, to be held at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, UK on Friday 14 and Saturday 15 June 2021 is now open.

This year’s congress will take an exciting new direction with a focus on burn scarring and current research in this field. The programme will explore all aspects of scarring from injury to recovery. At what point in the patient journey can scarring be modulated, or even prevented? Participants will have the opportunity to learn, question and discuss topics of interest with a large and eminent faculty of burns experts and researchers. Read the list of speakers on our website and it is essentially a ‘Who’s Who’ of burn care and research in the 21^st Century. Once again the congress will have new and innovative features, including ‘poster mania’.
