Code of ethics

How we teach

Dr John Watts is an ABHRS Diplomate. This programme is run in line with the ABHRS Code of Ethics.

  • The physician does the surgery

    Extraction incisions and recipient-site incisions are non-delegable surgical acts. We train doctors to perform them, never to hand them off.

  • Practice without patient risk

    Hands-on work is on model heads. The live case on Day 2 is observation only, with the patient's consent.

  • Market honestly

    Our marketing session teaches you to use only your own consented results and to avoid claims like guaranteed results or no-risk surgery.

  • Know what the certificate means

    You receive a certificate of course completion. It is not a board certification or a licence to practise.
