Last month the government released the long-awaited aesthetics licensing system plan, which represents a significant change in the regulation of non-surgical cosmetic procedures in England. Professor David Sines CBE, Chair of the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP), said:

“I warmly welcome the government’s decision to consult on this new, proposed licensing scheme. It will help to ensure that people who undergo non-surgical cosmetic procedures receive treatment from practitioners who are properly trained and qualified, have the necessary insurance cover and operate from premises that are safe and hygienic”

Church Pharmacy have worked very closely with the JCCP from its inception to advocate for more safety in the medical aesthetics field. We will continue to work with the JCCP with patient safety in the forefront of our minds, this is what our patients deserve and what hard-working practitioners such as yourselves strive for.

For more information on the latest guidance, you can read more on the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners website.

On Sunday 24th September our outstanding team of challengers took on the Leicester 3 Peaks Challenge – a 16 mile trek that took them over the three highest peaks in the stunning Charnwood countryside. As part of the fundraising process, for every customer order placed on ‘Give Back Friday’ we donated £1 towards their target for Charity Link.

Are you ready to hear how much was raised? Drum roll please.... together, so far, we have raised an astounding total of £2,047 for Charity Link!

The funds raised will be going towards supporting vulnerable people cross Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire by providing them with essential goods such as fridges, freezers, clothes and furniture. None of this would have been possible without you, our incredible customers! With your continuous support we have been able to further re-invest in our services and in the wider community.
