No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.

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. GMC record read in full on 2026-09-20: registered with a licence to practise, on the GP Register from 31 Mar 2006, not on the Specialist Register. Non-surgical aesthetic medicine is not a GMC specialty, so a doctor working only in it has no Specialist Register entry to match. [gmc] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. The clinical director and the rest of the clinical team are named with roles on the team pages and tied to this address. [site] [site-team] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-20 | |
| 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 number 3253014; status 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] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-22 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. CQC care directory (16 September 2026 file) and the live location page: registered location at 282 Lichfield Road, Sutton Coldfield B74 2UG, provider Medizen Limited, website matching the clinic’s own. [cqc] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The clinic names the legal entity or the responsible person in its legal notice and the record is found by name; or the number the clinic publishes leads to an entity with a different name that is tied to this location by the same address or the same responsible person. The clinic names its company in its own terms and refund policy without a registration number; Companies House returns an active company of that name whose registered office is the clinic address. [site-terms] [ch] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. The clinic states that it is registered with the Care Quality Commission and accredited by Save Face, but publishes no registration numbers and no GMC numbers for its doctors. [site] [site-about] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-20 | |
| 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. Superlative and award language recurs across the home and about pages without a named issuer; no outcome or safety guarantee found. Pages loaded 2026-09-20: home, /about-us/, /team/dr-david-eccleston/, /contact-us/, /terms-conditions/, /privacy-policy/. [site-about] Founded in 1999 by the worldwide trainer and key opinion leader for Allergan, Dr. David Eccleston, we are the Midlands Premier Aesthetic Clinic for treatments for injectables, skin and body. |
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, 20 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 Two or three. Three of the five classes are published: aftercare advice on the treatment pages, side-effect information, and a consent requirement for patients under 18. No revision policy and no complaints route found on the pages loaded. [site] [site-terms] |

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.
