Hundreds of aesthetic professionals met in the River Thames-facing Cholmondeley Room at the House of Lords in Westminster for the launch of the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP) on February 22.

The evening began with a networking drinks reception before guests were welcomed to the event by the Baroness Morris of Bolton OBE. The Baroness previously chaired the governance group for Treatments You Can Trust (TYCT), which has partnered with the JCCP to amalgamate their registers of practitioners from March 1.
