The Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) certifies practitioners and approves educational institutions in the realms of non-surgical cosmetic procedures and hair restoration surgery. Our primary focus is to offer information and support to patients and the public, with a main goal of ensuring patient safety and enhancing public security. We are endorsed by the Professional Standards Authority, which is responsible to Parliament and oversees the regulation of health and care professionals in regulated occupations such as doctors, registered nurses, dentists, pharmacists, and allied health professionals.

The JCCP works closely with the Cosmetic Practice Standards Authority (CPSA). The CPSA, comprising clinical specialists and patient/public representatives, emphasises experience, evidence, and patient safety. The CPSA establishes the criteria that individuals aspiring to conduct non-surgical cosmetic procedures must adhere to, regardless of their professional background. Those who meet these criteria can become part of a registry maintained by the JCCP. This allows the public to choose a practitioner from the registry, ensuring that they comply with the CPSA's set standards.

Together we have created the 2024 Public Narrative with our core messages that we would like to share with our registrants and various stakeholders. To view this year’s message, please click here.
