Tip-offs from doctors are helping sideline shonky cosmetic surgeons: AHPRA
Dozens have come forward and their information has been "invaluable" says medical board chair Dr Anne Tonkin.
Medical Board of Australia chair Dr Anne Tonkin has thanked the doctors who have come forward with information on shonky cosmetic surgery operators, saying they’ve “helped clean up” the industry.
New AHPRA figures show nearly 30 cosmetic surgeons have been sanctioned since Dr Tonkin wrote to every doctor in Australia urging them to report cosmetic doctors they believed were providing poor care, following the release of a damning review into the industry.
