Today we have published our report into the value of the complementary therapies sector. We urge the Government to act on our recommendations and consider how the sector can help take pressure off the NHS.

The APPG welcomes the announcement that there will be expanded support for patients in GP practices, including social prescribing. Our report outlined how complementary therapies can improve outcomes for patients via social prescribing, especially for those with chronic pain.
The consultation on a licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures closes on the 28th October.
Make sure you have your say to ensure consumers can be confident that the treatment they receive is safe and of a high standard !

This afternoon, I dropped by @BAW_APPG & had a chat with apprentices from Gateshead about the skills gap in the beauty & wellbeing industry
The Govt need to give further support & funding to this sector so they can address these challenges & secure the future of the industry
The Apprenticeship showcase is underway! Please do join us in Room U for a great opportunity to speak to apprentices in the beauty and wellbeing sector and receive a treatment 💅

This week, the Government published a consultation on developing a licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures, which was legislated for in the Health and Care Act 2022. 1/3
The need for a licensing scheme was a key recommendation made in the APPG’s 2021 report into the subject, following its year-long parliamentary inquiry. 2/3
In response to the announcement Co-Chairs of the APPG on Beauty and Wellbeing, @carolynharris24 MP and @JudithCummins MP said:
Many people in Ukraine & Ukrainian refugees living in the UK are struggling to access basic personal care items. The APPG is delighted to supply vital hygiene products for people in need & would like to thank @dr_organic for their donation and @GOODSFORGOODuk for their help 🇺🇦
If you are a company also wishing to donate hygiene products to Ukraine, please do get in touch and email us at: [email protected]

This investigation shows how some unscrupulous practitioners are taking advantage of young people.
There needs to be stronger oversight to protect young people from exploitative practices, and consequences where the law is broken.

Stories like the below are becoming far too common. The Government must crack down on unregulated cosmetic procedures and introduce the licensing regime for non-surgical cosmetic urgently! 💉

The APPG welcomes the ASA's decision to ban more ads exaggerating health and beauty treatment benefits like Botox and lip fillers.
We raised these concerns in our 2021 report and urge the Govt to consider this in their response to our recent letter
theguardian.com/media/2023/m…
The APPG has written to @DHSCgovuk Minister. It's been 18 months since the Group’s report on aesthetic procedures & not one of the report’s recommendations have been enforced. We are disappointed that the Minister has not met with us to discuss our recommendations for reform.

Complementary therapies can reduce stress and anxiety by 54%, however, they are often overlooked as legitimate treatments.

This evening @LucreziaMillarini gets under the skin of the aesthetics industry to look at the rising popularity of so-called cosmetic 'tweakments' - such as lip filler and anti-wrinkle injections – and asks if there is enough protection for consumers. 20.30 @itv @itvx #itvtonight
