beauticians providing customers with cosmetic injections, according to healthcare professionals.
Close thing there with that claim. Türkiye is in the Eurovision Song Contest and many go there for cosmetic surgery.
BBC Scotland, first thing and throughout the day has another ‘expert’ to damn the Scottish Government for lack of action. Yesterday, it was a London-based climate change rep.
The ‘healthcare professionals?’
Frances Turner Traill of the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses.
The evidence? From the longer website report:
Jackie Partridge of the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses said: “Colleagues across the rest of the world are shocked and in disbelief that non-medically qualified persons are legally allowed to treat the public.
“The UK is a joke when it comes to our colleagues in the rest of the world and Scotland is the worst in the UK.”
Don’t BBC editorial regulations require the checking of such claims? How many ‘colleagues?’ How many countries? Were none, say in Africa, South America or Central Asia, worse than Scotland? Really?
Worst in the UK, then?
There are media reports of people travelling to Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, to avoid regulations in England so why are the former two not the worst in Europe or the World? BBC Wales and Northern Ireland have, of course, no such reporting.
‘Healthcare professionals?’ As far as I can see, private sector training courses, often fast-tracked.
The evidence of real harm?
From STV in August 2023:
The family of a Fife woman who died after cosmetic surgery in Türkiye have finally been given answers around the circumstances of her death.
And later that year from ITV:
20 minutes from death: When non-surgical Brazilian Butt Lift fillers go wrong
That was done in Essex. An exemption for butt lifts in the English regulations?
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
Tragic to die for a desire to keep looking young. Looks like feminism needs a revamp, a proper facelift. Anyone reading and taking seriously the BritNat daily rags, thinking jeez I will never vote SNP again look at what bad horrible things they are doing to Scotland, needs their head examined.

I read that as, providing customers with cosmic injections. Now that would be worthwhile.

Aye, spotted the ” Scotland ‘worst in Europe’ for risky cosmetic fillers “, https://archive.ph/rva6I and thought eh ? On what scale is risk and what evidence for the worst ?
Scrolled down to find some the context beyond the headline and ” “It’s a very poor situation and unfortunately Scotland is the worst in the UK, and the UK is the worst in Europe,” she said.”
And why is ” Scotland the worst in the UK ” ? – This : ” In 2021, it became illegal in England for a person under 18 to have fillers or Botox – legislation that SaveFace assumed Scotland would take forward “
So essentially this contrived headline piece for BBC Scotland pivots on an age limit in England for fillers or Botox….🙄 but still doesn’t stop “a plumber or a hairdresser to inject a ” 18-year-old ” girl in the back of a van with no recourse ” even in England…..

I listened to a report on the radio and England only has the restriction of not being allowed to work on under 18s. Both nations are working on greater regulation. So not a huge difference.

Correct – So why was ‘Georgina Hayes’, ” Senior Journalist with BBC News in Scotland covering health and social affairs ” sent out to make it a Scotland only issue, the “huge difference” particularly today ?
What we have here is James Cook being tasked with deliberate diversion to the UK headline story of “Women hit by state pension age rise ‘owed’ compensation” on the UK website lest it wrankle those in Scotland who have been fighting this nonsense for years, eg the WASPI women – James is doing his job as a propagandist for a gong, simples…
“Both nations are working on greater regulation” 🤣

Unfortunately, the SG have been sitting on their arses with this one.
They’ve known the issues for a few years and did nothing but park the legislative changes.
Covid won’t have helped but it was a bit of an open goal this time for the MSM.
