Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. GMC Specialist Register: plastic surgery from 31 Mar 2009, matching the clinic's advertised focus. Two further named practitioners at this clinic are licensed but not on the Specialist Register.

OFF | 26 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). All three matched by GMC reference number, registered with a licence to practise. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name] [gmc-singh] [gmc-bassi] [gmc-kamsingh] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 20 September 2026 — 0 rows for the clinic name anywhere in the file; the postcode B15 3EB returns two locations at 38 Harborne Road, both registered to other providers Register queried, no record found. The current CQC care directory holds no location registered under this clinic’s name, and the two locations registered at its street address belong to other providers. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. The clinic’s own pages name no legal entity. Home, our-team, cosmetic-surgery, contact-us and a procedure page loaded 2026-09-20; the footer carries a trading name only, no company name, registration number or registered office, and the site serves no privacy-policy or terms page (both HTTP 404). [site] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. Site publishes individual GMC reference numbers for all three named practitioners; no facility or legal-entity registration number published. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One soft superlative in a home-page heading, repeated in the page metadata, and one mild claim over the treatments block. No outcome or safety guarantee found; the site’s own disclaimer states that specific results cannot be guaranteed. Pages loaded 2026-09-20: home, /our-team/, /cosmetic-surgery/, /contact-us/, /body-surgery/vaser-liposuction/. [site] Beautifully balanced results from UK’s trusted breast surgery experts. |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-20 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. A general risk disclaimer and a general aftercare statement are published; neither is procedure-specific. No consent process, revision-surgery policy or complaints-procedure page found on the pages reviewed. [site] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site] |
|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.

These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.

Change history
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 22 September 2026 | axes.M3: 5 → 4 (Methodology v1.3 (owner rulings 2026-09-22) — § F rule 6 — the number is not printed on the clinic's own pages (audit not_published) — matched by name) |
| 20 September 2026 | axes.M4: null → null (Re-run against the CQC care directory (16 September 2026 file) (v1.1 pass 1); still no match, attempt logged) |
| 20 September 2026 | axes.M7: null → 4 (Re-run the lexicon scan on the live pages (v1.1 pass 1) after the 2026-09-18 citation re-check withdrew the earlier quote) |
| 20 September 2026 | axes.M5: null → 2 (Re-run against Companies House and the clinic’s own pages (v1.1 pass 1): the clinic names no legal entity, so the M5 ladder gives brand only (v1.2)) |
| 18 September 2026 | axes.M7: 4 → null (Citation re-check: quote not found at https://www.birminghambeautyclinic.co.uk/ (quote not found); cell degraded to could-not-verify.) |
| 18 September 2026 | axes.M4: 3 → null (Methodology v1.2 (owner ruling 2026-09-18): a register miss is never a value — M4 = 3 was written for "register exists, no record found"; re-typed not_found with the logged query) |
