The whole setup of her private clinic certainly feels very ethically dubious, yes. But while there is definitely a conflict of interest, the whole thing is just so unusual that I don’t think it’s explicitly forbidden by the medical council - whoever heard of a GP using her professional practice to flog beauty products? I mean there is certainly precedent for doctors getting in trouble for prescribing their own medical devices, or working too closely with pharmaceutical companies, but this is a very unique kind of racket!
The only thing I can pull her up on that is definitely a violation of the medical council’s code of conduct is that she uses pictures of models (commercial) to advertise treatments on her website - this is misleading use of imagery. But otherwise she has been very careful with her branding - for example, just calling it Dr. Laura Clinic, instead of Skincare Clinic (which she often refers to it as), because she can’t officially advertise herself as being a skincare specialist - she’s not qualified, nor registered accordingly on the medical register.
if she has a private clinic she can market it as exclusive too and charge accordingly. If I was another GP I’d be totally sickened by her. She wants the title and the exclusive job but doesn’t want to work
Seriously, a patient’s address clearly shown in top left corner of screen. She’s so careless!!
