About
The backstory.
There are essentially three categories of medical aesthetic consent form available to a UK clinician right now. Cleritas is the third option.
The three categories.
The first is the £5 Canva or Etsy template. Bullet-point lists assembled by copywriters and paralegals who have never sat in a complaint hearing, never read the GMC's consent guidance, and never had to defend a form line-by-line under cross-examination. They feel cheap because they are cheap. When a patient complains, they collapse.
The second is the bespoke medico-legal route. £400 to £600 for a single consent form written from scratch by a healthcare-law firm. Beautifully thorough. Completely unaffordable when your clinic offers 18 different treatments and you need a form for each.
Cleritas is the third option.
10 years on both sides of the consent equation. Writing it for my own patients. Reading it as an expert witness when something has gone wrong in another clinician's practice.
Who writes it.
Every template in this library is written by a UK-based medical aesthetic physician and medico-legal expert witness with 10 years' experience in medical aesthetics, cosmetic facial surgery, and oculoplastic surgery. Actively practising, actively prescribing, and actively appearing as an expert witness when other clinicians' consent processes are scrutinised.
The author is kept anonymous on the products by design. The value is the single-author standard, not the personal brand. Every Cleritas form carries the same voice, the same structural backbone, the same level of medico-legal care — whether it is the Botox form, the polynucleotides form, or the blepharoplasty form.
What makes it different.
Every Cleritas template covers the details that generic templates miss and that complaints exploit.
Risks are written as headed clinical paragraphs with frequency labelling — common, uncommon, rare, serious, very rare — the way a hospital would document them, not as flat bullet points.
Off-label use is declared explicitly. Brand-by-brand non-interchangeability is stated. Product disclosure is built in.
Each section ends with an initialling box, so the patient is acknowledging comprehension section-by-section, not just signing once at the end. This is the medico-legal gold standard for demonstrating informed consent under Montgomery v Lanarkshire (2015).
Cancellation, refund, and finance language is structured. The footer makes the licensing and clinical position explicit.
Single-author, single-standard, single-clinic licensed. No 200 other clinics in your area downloading the same form.
