Karen has been instrumental in assisting the Owner/Director Dr Pamela McHenry in driving the growth of the clinic forward and upwards using her extensive knowledge of Dermatology, Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic treatments and services to meet this.
With her substantial experience working in Plastic Surgery for 20 years in the NHS and then being employed in the Independent Private Healthcare Sector since 2004, she has a wealth of expertise that is invaluable to the clinic and its’ team.
She started working with the Belfast Skin Clinic when it was just newly opened in 2016 and took over as Registered Nurse Manager in 2017.
Karen is a very conscientious and experienced Registered Nurse Manager whose track record of RQIA inspection reports speak for themselves in the 2 specialised clinics that she has managed.
She also has been the ISO Quality Manager for ISO 9001-2015 in 2 establishments.
This shows that all regulatory standards are being met and maintained under her leadership as the RQIA inspection reports show that from year to year there have been no requirements or recommendations for improvements.
As new services are implemented, Karen will investigate these in great depth to ensure that they meet the standards we wish every client to experience. She will also communicate with the necessary Regulatory Bodies ensuring that all legislation is strictly adhered to. She is dedicated to expansion, improvement and committed to achieving the highest standards for all of our clients.

Liese Merry
Senior Staff Nurse
Liese is a very experienced nurse with 30+ years of nursing practice completed all over the world. She has previously worked for nearly 20 years in New York with some of the most respected and renown Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons in USA. Her expertise and knowledge of skin conditions and treatment is unsurpassable compared to her peers in this field of medicine.
Liese is the Registered Laser Supervisor for the Belfast Skin Clinic and is committed to maintaining the highest levels of patient safety and care whilst adhering to all the regulations and legislation necessary to achieve this.
Due to her extensive knowledge in Plastic Surgery, Dermatology and numerous different Laser machines, she is an expert in this field. On numerous occasions, Liese has referred patients onto the Dermatologists with a suspicious lesion that has unfortunately resulted in a serious diagnosis. In the wrong hands, these patients could have been treated inappropriately for a potentially serious condition elsewhere.
Liese believes very strongly that knowledge is power and is continuously updating her training and skills to ensure the upmost safety for her patients and staff.
Her standards of patient care are impeccable, and she will always err on the side of caution rather than treat someone incorrectly.
She has a great working relationship with the RQIA and Lasermet and her excellent Audit and Inspection results are testament to this.
