New regulatory body set up in Scotland to help prevent cowboy clinics in Scotland

[bullitnut]

Just read this and noticed that a new regulatory body called watchdog Healthcare improvement or something similar to that has been set in Scotland with clinics needing to sign up by April 1st, from what iv'e read it sounds like the quality care commission we have in the UK but for clinics in Scotland. Does anyone know anything else about this.
Sounds like a good idea if it helps.

Actual progress. I like it. Now, how are concerns going to be enforced?

I`m thankful I found this forum, otherwise, I could have ended up making some bad decisions.... Common sense would suggest all clinics have to be regulated.... We the general public put our unsuspecting trust in these doctors. Maybe the rest of the country will follow suit.

It would seem things are beginning to happen. Get rid of these sub-par clinics who don`t have the patients best interests at heart. Too many cosmetic or dentistry clinics adding hair transplants to their portfolio, even though they`ve had no prior training.
