The Hanson Clinic
Verification pending: less of the axis weight is sourced than the threshold requires, so no score is published yet.
Status: verification pending · last checked 31 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Single-consultant plastic surgery practice in Dublin 2. The named consultant plastic surgeon is on the Irish Association of Plastic Surgeons membership list; the clinic's own operating company is registered at the Companies Registration Office.
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 Only a secondary source (association, aggregator) supports the certification. Mr Richard Hanson named on the IAPS membership list (association/secondary source); the Medical Council Specialist Register itself is reCAPTCHA-gated and could not be queried, so this axis is capped at secondary provenance.

Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.
