The clinics doing it properly can't prove it.

Buying through licensed channels, training staff beyond the minimum, keeping a real complication protocol — all of it costs money, and from the outside it looks identical to a clinic doing none of it. We're building an independent standard that makes the difference visible, for injectables and for devices, at clinics where treatment is delivered by a registered practitioner or under their delegation.

This is the form a verification record will take. No clinic has been assessed and nothing here describes a real business. The amber rows mark categories outside the scope of an assessment — most often because they were not applied for. They are never a finding against a clinic.

What we verify

Three things, each traceable to a record we didn't write.

  1. Public register

    Practitioners

    Registration status and any restrictions for every practitioner a clinic declares, confirmed against the public register of their college.

  2. Health Canada + supplier

    Products & devices

    That the sources a clinic declares are licensed establishments — checked against Health Canada's listings, then confirmed in writing by the supplier, against the clinic's written declaration that no other source was used. Device serial numbers included.

  3. On site

    Clinic process

    That written protocols exist for consent, complications and follow-up; that neurotoxins are stored refrigerated; and, where filler is offered, that the reversal agent is held from a lawful source in the quantity the clinic's own protocol calls for.

What we don't verify

The scope is published, not buried.

  • Operator training for laser and IPL.

    There is no register of operators in British Columbia, and no minimum training is set for the operator. Certificates are issued by the same companies that sell the courses, and advertised courses here run from five hours to a hundred. We state that gap on every record rather than paper over it.

  • Clinical skill, technique and treatment outcomes.

    Not assessed, and not assessable from documents.

  • Anything outside the categories a clinic applied for.

    Clinics choose which categories to have assessed. Absence of a category is never described as a failure or a concern, and no clinic that falls short is ever published — the category is simply not listed.

A verification without a stated scope isn't a verification. It's an advertisement.

For clinics

No invoices, no pricing, nothing your competitors could use.

We designed this so that taking part exposes nothing commercially sensitive.

  1. Stage 1

    Practitioners

    A list of everyone who treats, and a signed statement that it is complete. We check each person against their college's public register.

  2. Stage 2

    Products and devices

    You tell us who you buy from and sign an authorization for them to confirm the account. They confirm it directly to us. You never send us an invoice, a price or a term.

  3. Stage 3

    Records — optional

    Purchase samples, lot traceability and temperature logs, for clinics that want the highest grade. Entirely at your election.

If there's a gap

Anything we find that can be fixed, you have two months to fix it. If you don't, that category simply isn't listed. We never publish a list of clinics that fell short, and absence of a category is never described as a failure.

We'd rather help you pass than catch you out.

For suppliers

We're asking distributors one question, not for money.

What we ask

Does this clinic hold an account with you?

Yes or no, plus the categories you supply — and only ever with your customer's written authorization. For devices, whether the serial number matches your records. Nothing about volumes, pricing or terms.

What we never ask

Sponsorship, funding or endorsement

Suppliers don't fund this program and have no role in setting the standard or influencing any outcome. Clinics pay an assessment fee, payable whether a category passes or not. That's what keeps it independent.

Where we are

Writing the standard with the people it will apply to.

We are building the standard now, with an independent council chaired by a senior clinician or academic, drawn from every profession the standard covers — physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, dentists and naturopathic doctors — together with lay members. If you are a clinic, a practitioner, a distributor or a journalist and want to know more, get in touch.
