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.
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 Only a secondary source (society, association, directory) supports the certification, while the official register of this class is open in the jurisdiction. 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.

| 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). Matched by GMC reference numbers 3501140 and 3452002, both 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-bessam] [gmc-nilofer] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. CQC location 'Farjo Hair Institute' at 70 Quay Street, Manchester, M3 3EJ matches name and address; provider Advanced Hair Technology Limited. [cqc] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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. Advanced Hair Technology Limited (02855274), active, registered office matches the clinic's own address. [v1.3 2026-09-22: the clinic publishes neither the number nor the legal entity (audit not_published, entity name not found on the clinic pages; the entity was found by us — shown as a fact)] [ch] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers No identifiers at all. No licence, facility or company numbers published on the pages reviewed. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Repeated superlatives without an issuer ("only true multiple award-winning hair transplant specialists", "a benchmark of excellence"); no outcome guarantee found. [site] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-31 | |
| 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 | 2026-08-31 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Aftercare information and a complaints-policy link published; consent, risk/complication and revision-policy pages not found. [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.

Secondary findings (not scored)
What a professional society, an international directory, a hospital page or another jurisdiction’s register says, shown for information where the country’s own register is closed. These facts enter neither the score nor the coverage.
- M5 · Legal-entity traceability SECCompany register entry found for Advanced Hair Technology Limited (02855274); the clinic's own surface names neither the entity nor the number.[ch]
What we could not verify
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
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.
