RCS Cosmetic Surgery Certification Scheme
The aim of this Scheme is to set the standards of Aesthetic surgery and to provide accreditation for key competencies so as to demonstrate expertise to patients, and ultimately to help make the cosmetic surgery industry safer by improving professional behaviours in this sector.
The main contributors were selected Plastic Surgery colleagues from BAAPS and BAPRAS, supported by other Specialty associations.
It is supported by all four surgical Royal Colleges.

While credentialing with the GMC is not yet mandatory, it is likely that this will follow soon.
The “Professional Behaviours in Aesthetic Surgery Course’ has been produced as part of the Certification process. It is currently offered as fully online course, see:-

Completion of this course (along with provision of details of the applicant’s operative practice) is necessary to apply for this Certification.
PRASIS members are encouraged to undertake this process.
The current cost of the course is £475. However, PRASIS will reimburse members £300 of that fee on production of proof of its completion by the member.
Members should also note that in addition to the cost of this course there is an application fee for the Certification Scheme of £650.
