Daughter of one of Scotland's richest men struck off after client 'endangered' following risky beauty salon procedure | 828RQ38 | 2024-04-29 06:08:01
THE daughter of a Scots tycoon has been struck off after her client was reportedly left endangered following a risky procedure at her beauty salon.
Jennifer McLeish, whose dad Alan is a railway maintenance millionaire and one of Scotland's richest men, has been removed from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register.
The 36-year-old is alleged to have performed the cosmetic procedure at her clinic, House of Aesthetics, in Glasgow in September 2019.
According to the Daily Record, the procedure involved hyaluronic injections.
But her client is reported to have suffered a vascular occlusion, which is a blockage in blood vessels, after the procedure was carried out.
The condition is a rare but serious side effect which stops blood from being able to pass through the blood vessels and can cause severe pain.
If it is left untreated it can result in gangrene, which happens when a loss of blood supply causes body tissue to die.
The NMC launched a probe into McLeish's conduct after complaints were made following the incident.
The watchdog found that McLeish, who describes herself as an 'Advanced Cosmetic Injector' on LinkedIn, failed to follow basic protocol.
It found that McLeish failed to obtain informed or any consent from the patient before carrying out the procedure.
It also found that she failed to advise her patient of the risks involved in the procedure.
And it also found that she failed to provide any follow-up care after becoming aware that the patient suffered a possible vascular occlusion.
<!-- End of Brightcove Player --> The panel stated that McLeish's misconduct had impaired her fitness to practice after she failed to provide evidence that she was improving her practice after the incident.
She was also to have shown no "insight, reflection or remorse" over her actions or how it had impacted her client.
McLeish was then struck off the register with the order coming into effect tomorrow.
The NMC decision reads: "This panel noted there has been no evidence provided by Ms McLeish that demonstrates her insight, reflection or remorse into her actions and the impact it had on Patient A, colleagues the wider profession, as well as her understanding of the significance of her actions.
"This panel has found that there continues to be no evidence of Ms Mcleish having insight or remorse into the charges found proved against her.
"In its consideration of whether Ms Mcleish has strengthened her practice, the panel noted she has not provided any evidence of taking steps to improve her practice.
"The panel found therefore that Ms Mcleish was liable to repeat the matters found proved in the charges and concluded that a finding of current impairment is required in this case to protect the public.
"The panel determined that, in this case, a finding of continuing impairment on public interest grounds is also required.
"For these reasons, the panel finds that Ms Mcleish's fitness to practice remains impaired."
It comes after we revealed that Mcleish put her luxury home on the market after a spate of firebombing attacks.
She listed her pad in the upmarket village of Bothwell, Lanarkshire, in February earlier this year.
It follows a spate of arson and graffiti attacks in recent years.
</div> </div> In January 2023, thugs left vulgar sexual insults trashing Mcleish on walls in central Bothwell.
Maniacs also drove a motor to her front gate before setting it ablaze and fleeing.
The fire spread to the fence of Mcleish's neighbour at the time, former Celtic star Leigh Griffiths.
The attacks are understood to be linked to a fall-out between Mcleish's partner Brian McIlear and a Glasgow hood.
In Hamilton, a wall in the David Lloyd gym car park was daubed with personal insults aimed at Jennifer.
In 2020, Jennifer's Range Rover was petrol-bombed, which also set fire to the roof of her £500,000 home.
Her beauty salon, Glasgow, was ramraided weeks later.
