No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Non-surgical cosmetic clinic in a Harley Street townhouse, offering injectable treatments, laser and energy-device treatments and regenerative skin treatments. The medical director is named with role, and two further doctors are published with their GMC reference numbers. The clinic is registered with the Care Quality Commission as an independent hospital at this address.
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 medical director and the treating team are named with roles on the home and team pages and tied to this address. [site] [site-team] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by the licence number the clinic itself publishes. Matched by GMC reference number 4368285; status registered with a licence to practise. [gmc] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Record found: name, address and status match. CQC care directory (16 September 2026 file) and the live location page: registered as an independent hospital at 102 Harley Street W1G 7JB, provider PHI102 Limited, website matching the clinic’s own. [cqc] |
OFF | 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 names no legal entity on its own pages. Home, contact, team, terms and privacy pages loaded 2026-09-20: no company name, registration number or registered office is published. [site] [site-terms] |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Physician numbers published; facility or legal-entity numbers not. GMC reference numbers are published for treating doctors and a GDC number for a dental practitioner; no facility or company registration number is published. [site-team] |
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 page without a named issuer; no outcome or safety guarantee found. Pages loaded 2026-09-20: home, /team, /contact, /terms-and-conditions, /privacy-and-cookie-policy. [site] The Best Non-surgical London Cosmetic Clinic |
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 One. One of the five classes is published: a complaints policy naming the registered manager and stating response times. No consent, risk, aftercare or revision-policy content found on the pages loaded. [site-terms] |

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.

|---|---|
| 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.

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.
