Our standards
How we verify practitioners
Every practitioner on SafeSkin is confirmed on a recognised Irish healthcare register. Here's exactly how we do it.
Our verification process
Register check
We confirm the practitioner appears on one of the three recognised Irish healthcare registers. We verify name, registration number, and current registration status.
Status confirmation
We confirm the practitioner holds a current, active registration — not expired, suspended, or struck off. Only practitioners with active registrations are listed.
Ongoing monitoring
Registrations are periodically re-checked. If a practitioner's status changes, their listing is updated or removed accordingly.
The three registers
SafeSkin only lists practitioners who are on one of these three statutory registers.
Medical Council of Ireland
The statutory body responsible for the registration of doctors in Ireland.
Who: Doctors (medical practitioners)
Dental Council of Ireland
The regulatory body for dentists and dental specialists in Ireland.
Who: Dentists and dental specialists
Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI)
The independent statutory body that regulates nurses and midwives in Ireland.
Who: Registered nurses and midwives
Important: what verification means
SafeSkin confirms that practitioners are registered with one of the three statutory bodies listed above. This means they are qualified healthcare professionals — a doctor, dentist, or nurse — with an active registration.
SafeSkin does not guarantee:
- Specific aesthetic training or qualifications
- Treatment outcomes or results
- Clinic facilities or standards
- Product quality or authenticity
We strongly encourage all consumers to ask their chosen practitioner about their specific aesthetic training, experience, insurance, and the products they use before proceeding with any treatment.
