.....all this means is Leah's going to continue to destroy her face and end up with lips like concrete. A real shame, as you can see - especially from her mum and sister that she's a natural beauty.
Is Leah's business plan really cosmetic surgery-based?

Her sister looks even better to be honest.
Leah looks like one of those girls from school that her peers would either love or hate out of envy. Natural looks combined with natural intelligence and effortless high achiever. I bet she can also eat whatever she wants without putting any weight on, perfect combo to be hated by your fellow females

Leah had the same lips as she has now in her school picture.

Well she currently runs her clinics alongside working in the NHS... What's to say she won't continue to do so?

If she wants a full career in medicine, she can't do both. Even if she trained in plastic surgery the demands get more intense as you training goes on...most plastic surgeons I know had to do intensive training abroad as well as in the UK, and undertake a full thesis to get on in an intensely competitive branch of surgery.

Maybe her plan won't require her to be around very much... maybe she's sort of controlling behind the scenes while she carries on with her day-to-day job, while employees run it. I'm not sure Lord Sugar would be confident about that though, as it's quite risky.
Not sure LAS would like to invest in someone whose basically going to farm out the work to others, and happily carry on in their chosen profession. He might as well just invest in the worker.

Unlikely as it would seem, Sugar has had some work done. I doubt he'd object to others also wasting their money.

Definitely a natural beauty, and I agree she already has pretty and full lips, but there were times when I'm sure the surrounding area of her mouth looked quite swollen....particularly in the boardroom (call me cynical, but done especially for the close ups maybe?)
All credit to Francesca who seems to have resisted the fillers. Although I wish the black eyebrow fashion would finish, as it's so harsh and ageing. In fact I thought the mums looked much softer, in some cases younger than their daughters!
The 'pudenda' comment (best not to do image search if you have to google the word!) earlier in the thread has affected hearing The Wanted's latest hit for me! I keep thinking of the chorus' last line being "Her lips are like pudenda". I know, I have a strange mind. 
These days people with bottoxed lips are just ridiculed or people wonder why they`ve been punched in the mouth or perhaps been stung by a bee - so its less popular than it was. But if she just stuck to general facial rejuvenation I`m sure she`d do well - she could even get qualified in hair transplanting - there`s a massive call for that.

Why not? He has set the candidates tasks of running beauty parlours with facials and the like in previous years. This is just taking that concept one step further. If it is likely to make him money he is bound to consider it.
The risk of a customer taking legal action is always present but a) they can insure against this risk b) it is no more of a risk than an Amstrad computer blowing up and scarring a small child for life, or an electrical fault in one of Amsprops properties due to poor maintenance causing a fire that burns someone and scars them for life etc.
The real problem is that a year down the line the staff she has will know everything they need to do, be fully qualified and paperworked up to the hilt and will be able to open their own store 1/2 a mile away and do it cheaper since they won't be paying Leah for just turning up for 2-3 hours a week to see how things are going while pursuing her main medical career and would probably take 90% of the client base with them which would leave her pretty much back at square 1
What surprised me were not the several questions that were asked about the moral side of this business, but the fact that an answer in the form of 'how very dare you question my morality, I am the most ethical person you will ever meet' was apparently accepted as sufficient.

New EU guidelines that stipulate that only doctors, dentists and prescribing nurses will be able to administer cosmetic fillers could be introduced in UK next year.
So Dr Leah's medical aesthetics clinics could potentially be a goldmine for LS.

She said she would turn away business if that was the right thing to do medically, and that she wouldn't risk the many years she had spent becoming a doctor to do dodgy medical work. What more were you hoping for? A character reference from her vicar?

Sounds good but would you trust any old person with the qualifications to do the job just because they have the paperwork? could you imagine getting a lip filler from some 70 year old doctor with shaky hands who just fancies a bit of extra work to pay his golf club membership etc

But Dr Leah isn't a 70 year old shaky doctor is she?
Moreover, no sensible qualified doctor whatever their age would risk their registration, reputation and years of training just for a few extra bucks (assuming there are patients dumb enough to be treated by a visibly incompetent doctor as described by you).

This is the thing, is Leah risking her registration by just employing anyone who has the relevant qualifications or could she just employ a load of half blind doctors and let them lose and wipe her hands of the problem (worst case scenario), if she's culpable for her decisions in hiring then thats fine but if she can just walk away saying "wasn't me holding the needle" then i think LS will walk away

Because if she were to do so, she would put at risk her registration, her reputation and that of her clinics, which would also affect her livelihood.
A strong enough deterrent I would say for any one, but more so for doctors who have to study and work so hard for so long to achieve full registration.

An age limit for example?
The question was raised by the female interviewer if I recall correctly in relation to teenage girls all wanting to look like celebrities, so an age limit for the chain of botox clinics would have helped.
True that the morality they (the interviewer and later LS himself) questioned wasn't further specified, so it was hard to answer but if she was serious about the issue she could have asked them some questions about which part they were most concerned with and answer that.
She flew into a general defence, in fact saying nothing, Only when she was pressed to answer the question whether she would turn away business did she say that she would. What business she would turn away wasn't made clear.
Dodgy medicine wasn't defined either.
If you'd be satisfied with such an answer after you raised - what I took to be - a serious question, I'd say you are a lousy interviewer.Settling for a character reference from a doctor's vicar would make you a mere silly one.
