Ocean Clinic is the only independent Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Clinic on the Costa del Sol to achieve the (ISO) 9001:2008 certification for Quality Management Systems.

To attain this prestigious certification, Ocean Clinic had to demonstrate its commitment to eight quality management principles:

Principle 1: Customer Focus

Principle 5: System Approach to Management

Customers and employees can have confidence in the effectiveness and efficiency of Ocean Clinic thanks to the management systems in place.

Principle 6: Continual Improvement

Principle 8: Mutually Beneficial Supplier Relationships

Ocean Clinic optimises its costs and resources by identifying and selecting key partners, pooling expertise, and establishing joint development activities.

According to the ISO, the principles set out by the Quality Management standard form the basis for "operational excellence".

Says Dr. Kai Kaye, Medical Director at Ocean Clinic: "We are delighted to have achieved this certification. It follows rigorous assessment by the Standards Organisation and is testament to our ability to consistently meet and exceed our customers' expectations."

"We are continually looking to improve our service and having effective processes and systems in place helps us to achieve this. We will continue to be audited and re-certified over the next three years."

The ISO certification is the second accolade Ocean Clinic has received this year; the clinic has also been awarded the WhatClinic.com 2015 Customer Service Award.
