Summary
Hair-transplant clinic in Manchester city centre, co-founded by two named physicians who hold a licence to practise. Neither is on the GMC Specialist Register, which is expected for hair-restoration medicine since it is not a recognised GMC specialty. The facility and the operating company are both matched in their respective public registers.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Only a secondary source (association, aggregator) supports the certification. Both named physicians are registered with a licence to practise but are not on the GMC Specialist Register; hair-restoration medicine is not a GMC specialty, so this is expected and not treated as a deficiency.
