The Abbé 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
Cosmetic and plastic surgery clinic in Wilton, Cork, run by two named consultants who are both on the Irish Association of Plastic Surgeons membership list.
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 Jason Kelly and Mr Sean T O'Sullivan 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.
