PCAM Membership
Get listed. On merit.
PCAM lists Pakistani clinicians in aesthetic medicine in two tiers. Verification is deliberately hard to earn — a specialty title alone is not enough, and payment does not buy a badge. Below is exactly what we ask for, how the review works, and what disqualifies an application.
Two listing types
Verified vs Self-reported
PCAM Verified

What we ask for
Verification requirements
Every item below is checked against the issuing authority. Missing or misrepresented documents end the application.
Current PMDC registration
Active Pakistan Medical & Dental Council registration in good standing. UK GMC where applicable. We verify against the register — no exceptions.
Primary medical qualification
MBBS or equivalent, plus any specialty postgraduate qualifications (FCPS, MRCP, MD, Dip Derm, FRCS Plast, BDS etc.). Certificates on file.
Recognised aesthetic training — not workshops
A specialty title (Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, MBBS) is not sufficient on its own. Applicants must document completion of formally recognised aesthetic training pathways. Weekend workshops, vendor product demos, and single-day "masterclasses" do not count.
PCAM online modules — mandatory & free
Every verified clinician completes PCAM's free online course series: facial anatomy, complication management (necrosis, vascular occlusion, hyaluronidase protocols), consent, ethics, and holistic patient assessment. Passing the end-of-module assessments is a condition of verification.
Holistic, ethical practice
We judge how the clinician approaches a patient — assessment, consent, follow-up, complication readiness — not just what they can inject. Applicants whose practice reads as product-selling rather than medical consultation are declined.
Product-sourcing chain
Toxin and filler sourced from authorised Pakistani distributors (Allergan, Galderma, Merz, Croma, Teoxane etc.). Grey-market Instagram supply chains are an automatic reject. Hyaluronidase in date on premises.
Review process
From application to badge
STEP 01
Submit application
Fill in the online form with PMDC number, qualifications, aesthetic training pathway, product sourcing and case portfolio.
STEP 02
Document review
PCAM secretariat verifies PMDC status, qualifications and training certificates against issuing bodies.
STEP 03
Complete PCAM modules
Access is granted to the free online module series. Passing marks required in each assessment.
STEP 04
Panel review
An independent panel (Pakistani clinicians + HSI London faculty) reviews the file for holistic practice, ethics and complication readiness.
STEP 05
£100/year listing fee
On approval, the annual verification fee is invoiced. This funds independent review — it does not buy the badge.
STEP 06
Go live
Verified profile published in the directory with badge, trust meter and city-level SEO pages.
Automatic disqualifiers
Why applications are declined
Most applications do not pass on the first attempt. These are the most common reasons — none of them are negotiable.
- Toxin or filler sourced from unauthorised / grey-market suppliers.
- "Trained" only via weekend workshops, vendor demos or observership certificates.
- Advertising that guarantees outcomes, uses undisclosed before/afters, or targets minors.
- No documented complication protocol (hyaluronidase, emergency escalation).
- History of PMDC disciplinary action not disclosed on application.
- Injectables delegated to non-medical staff without direct clinician supervision.
