Scopes of Practice for
Specialized Regulatory Professional Positions

Establishing Accountability & Enforcing Scopes of Practice for Specialized Regulatory Professional Positions in the Body Altering Aesthetics Industry

The initiative aims to establish clear Scopes of Practice for specialized regulatory positions in the Body Altering Aesthetics industry, addressing the surge in professionals offering diverse services and the need for differentiation from existing regulatory fields. In defining these scopes, we aim to reduce confusion, misinformation, and instances of professionals operating beyond their designated roles, ensuring adherence to industry-specific standards and protocols.

Our Mission

Through the implementation of these Scopes of Practice, professionals will gain clarity on their qualifications and responsibilities, enhancing accountability and transparency in the industry. Additionally, these defined scopes will improve communication between professionals, clients, and regulatory bodies, fostering a safer and more effective healthcare environment. Collaboration with regulatory agencies, professional associations, and educational institutions will be crucial to support this initiative.
