This project is now complete.

The Skin Well® Project (2023-2026) was an independent inquiry into the systems surrounding skin health.

The project explored four areas where I believed meaningful change could improve public understanding of skin and access to appropriate:

• Public information – that skin should have a stronger place in public health messaging.

• Education – that education and training should be appropriate to scope of practice and level of risk.

• Regulation – that the profession should be more consistently regulated.

• Protected professional titles – to help the public better understand who they are seeing and the level of training and accountability behind that title.

One outcome of The Skin Well® Project was the submission and acceptance of a petition by the UK Parliament’s Petitions Committee, calling for greater recognition of skin within public health messaging.
