Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: plasticsurgery_ie, 18 September 2026 — IAPS member list does not name this clinic’s responsible physician, so no secondary finding is carried. ISAPS find-a-surgeon for Ireland answers HTTP 200 with a client-rendered shell (no surgeon rows in the HTML) and is left to the operator’s browser pass. |

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Named; role unclear. Physicians are named with roles and Medical Council registration numbers, but the team page is shared across all three Auralia locations rather than tied to this specific address. [site-team] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence The register of this class is not machine-accessible or does not cover this class of practitioner; the clinic itself publishes the number. The clinic publishes the Medical Council registration number of the physician responsible for its aesthetic surgery, Dr Ahmed Ramzi Salman (IMC 020406); the register search itself is reCAPTCHA-gated, so the number cannot be matched in the register. [site-team] is registered with the Irish Medical Council – No : 020406 |
SEC | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Queried, no match. Last attempt: facility_registry, 18 September 2026 — Every leg run: 0 rows for the centre name, 0 rows for the street address, and the clinic is not among the 14 Healthcare centres HIQA lists for Limerick. HIQA registers designated centres, monitors HSE-funded services and private hospitals and regulates medical ionising radiation; Ireland has no licence class for a cosmetic or aesthetic clinic, so the absence carries no finding about this clinic. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-18 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The clinic names the legal entity or the responsible person in its legal notice and the record is found by name; or the number the clinic publishes leads to an entity with a different name that is tied to this location by the same address or the same responsible person. The clinic names its operating company in its own terms and conditions but publishes no CRO number; the company is matched by name in the CRO bulk export (RAS MEDICAL LIMITED, no. 337118, status Normal).

OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers All load-bearing numbers published with issuers. Each named physician's Irish Medical Council registration number is published (e.g. Dr Ahmed Ramzi Salman IMC 20406, Dr Ibraheem Tunau IMC 019131, Dr Konstantinos Michos IMC 543137, Reem Salman IMC 020407). [site-team] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Superlative claims run through the clinic’s own text (“the leading cosmetic surgery provider in Ireland”, “Ireland’s leading expert”, “Top Experts”); no guarantee of an outcome. Pages loaded: home page, our-story, team, contact, terms and privacy policy. [site-home] the leading cosmetic surgery provider in Ireland with clinics in Kilkenny, Limerick and Dublin |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 18 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents Four. A dedicated aftercare section ("Plastic Surgery After Care With Auralia", free follow-up appointments) is published; a formal written consent process and revision policy were not confirmed on the pages checked. [site-team] [site-home] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site-home] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site-home] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site-home] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.

What we could not verify
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician — Register closed to machine queries
- M4 · Facility registration — Queried, no match
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
