The British College of Cosmetic Surgery will support continued professional development, responsible clinical innovation and the advancement of patient-centred excellence across the specialty.

Dr Sayani Sainudeen, co-founder and board member of the British College of Cosmetic Surgery, said: ‘Cosmetic surgery continues to evolve rapidly, and with that evolution must come clear, measurable standards. Our aim is to provide patients with confidence and surgeons with a framework that reflects true excellence.'

The founding board includes Dr Ashish Dutta, Dr Ian Morgan, Dr Alexandra Chambers, Dr Marboor Bhatty and Dr Sayani Sainudeen.

The college has been established to create an official, profession-led standard for cosmetic surgery practice in the UK. Through a structured and rigorous fellowship pathway, it aims to ensure surgeons demonstrate measurable competence, transparency and commitment to patient safety.
