# UK hair transplant clinic checks: CQC, GMC, BAHRS, and named doctor transparency
UK hair transplant research should go beyond marketing pages and before-and-after images. Users should verify who is responsible for care, what registration applies, and whether the clinic explains risks, consent, and aftercare clearly.
This page is educational only and is not medical advice. Users should consult a qualified professional before choosing a treatment or clinic.
Checks before booking
- Is the named doctor or surgeon visible?
- Is GMC registration relevant and verifiable for the clinician?
- Does the clinic show CQC registration where applicable?
- Is BAHRS membership claimed and source-backed?
- Who performs the surgical and non-surgical parts of the procedure?
- Are deposit terms and cancellation terms clear?
- Does the clinic explain risks, scarring, aftercare, and possible need for future procedures?
- Are before-and-after examples clearly attributed and not used as a guarantee?
How HairLossIndex should use this
UK clinic and practitioner pages should show source-backed accreditations only. If CQC, GMC, or BAHRS cannot be verified from public sources, the field should remain blank rather than inferred.
