Make Specialist training in certain procedures the law for plastic surgeons
Plastic surgeons in the UK can call themselves a specialist in a certain surgery without the extensive training. This results in dissatisfied patients and botched results. I want to change this to stop anyone going through the emotional and physical trauma of living with a botched result.
I was botched twice in the UK after two rhinoplasty surgeries gone wrong. My surgeon was advertised to me as a rhinoplasty specialist - I then learnt he had no specialist training for rhinoplasty procedures but is still legally entitled to call himself a specialist. As a result I am having to travel over seas for a reconstructive rhinoplasty specialist to fix the mess I have been left with.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
Unregistered medical practice is already against the law. You can find out more here:

The medical register includes experience and training:

We're not sure exactly how you'd like the law to change. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
