Start with the aesthetics clinic KPIs that explain the diary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n1. Attendance, with cancellations kept separate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Choose a reporting period and define what counts as attended, cancelled, rescheduled or missed. Avoid combining all unused appointments into a single number: a cancellation that allows the slot to be refilled is different from an unexplained absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For an attendance rate, divide attended appointments by the appointments due in that period, using a clearly documented rule for cancellations. Keep the rule consistent and report the underlying counts alongside the percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Faces booking guide<\/mark><\/a> describes appointment management and reminders. These are relevant operational tools, although clinics should confirm which reporting or export options are available for their own analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Identify the information your clinic requests in advance, then measure how often it is available by the agreed point. Record missing preparation separately from information that has arrived but needs professional review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Faces consent-form library<\/mark><\/a> can support structured information gathering. Completion is an administrative measure, however\u2014not proof that informed consent or clinical suitability has been established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If preparation is frequently late, investigate the instructions and timing before blaming the person completing it. The request may be unclear, difficult to access or sent too close to the appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Set an appropriate recording standard for the clinic and professional responsibilities involved. Track the proportion completed within it and examine why exceptions occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faces\u2019 patient-management overview<\/mark><\/a> describes notes, photographs and treatment histories. Those records can provide a starting point for a carefully designed audit, subject to the information available and appropriate access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For NMC registrants, the Code requires records to be completed at the time or as soon as possible after an event<\/mark><\/a>. A local administrative target must not replace relevant professional requirements or reward rushed, poor-quality notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Measure whether relevant aftercare was provided, and whether a review was arranged when the agreed plan called for one. Keep those measures separate: sending instructions and booking a review are different tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Faces aftercare library<\/mark><\/a> offers material clinics can select and review. A delivery record is useful, but it does not establish that the recipient understood the information or that their recovery was uncomplicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Look at exceptions for a practical reason: is there a handover that needs a clearer owner?<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a short sample period, ask staff to log time spent chasing forms, searching for information and entering the same details again. Keep the exercise proportionate and explain that the purpose is process improvement, not surveillance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then choose one repeat task to simplify. Compare a similar period afterwards, noting differences in staffing and appointment mix. A result without that context can be misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Record expired or unusable stock separately from emergency orders. Look at the reasons: over-ordering, unexpected demand, unclear storage arrangements or an unreliable reorder point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compare like with like and distinguish units from monetary value. A rise in urgent purchases may need investigation even if the total stock bill looks stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use a short monthly review: what changed, what might explain it and what will we test next? Review counts over time rather than treating a small percentage change as a discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Protect the information involved. The ICO identifies health data as special category data<\/mark><\/a>; access, lawful use and any wider sharing need proper consideration. Removing names alone does not necessarily make a dataset anonymous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best aesthetics clinic KPIs do not reduce people to numbers. They make it easier to notice where a process needs attention\u2014and to choose an improvement that is worth the team\u2019s effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want attendance, preparation and records in a more connected place, register for Faces<\/mark><\/a> and confirm which reports or exports you can use for your own analysis. Measurement is only useful when the underlying definitions are clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Preparation completed before the appointment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
