At the end of June 2022 we held an online webinar titled “A Career in Medical Aesthetics” led by Medical Director Mr Adrian Richards, Clinical Lead and Aesthetic Doctor Dr Fiona Durban and Clinical Lead Aesthetic Dentist Dr Olya Vorodukhina.
This webinar was aimed at medical professionals looking to go into the exciting world of aesthetics. With the live broadcast being split into training, treatments, business advice and common pitfalls. It was also a great opportunity to hear from our clinical team about their own experiences and the advice they can give to any budding aesthetic practitioners.
In line with several Professional Statutory Regulators (the General Medical Council and the General Dental Council and in accordance with guidance set down by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society) the JCCP and the CPSA have set down their decision not to endorse or permit the remote prescribing of any prescription medicine when used for specifically for non-surgical cosmetic treatments. In such circumstances when a prescriber delegates treatment to other practitioners, then the JCCP would remind the prescriber that the patient remains under the oversight of the prescriber, requiring that the prescriber must be familiar with the patient through an initial face to face consultation and diagnostic assessment of the patient’s suitability for treatment. This applies to the routine/planned administration of medicines that are used specifically for cosmetic purposes, such as botulinum toxins, injected local anaesthetic or topical adrenaline, and the emergency use of medicines such as hyaluronidase.
At Cosmetic Courses one of our most popular training courses is our Foundation Botox and Dermal Filler Training Course. It’s the first step in entering the exciting world of aesthetics and provides you with the fundamentals of aesthetic medicine along with business and marketing advice. The course covers basic Botulinum Toxin treatments and filler around the mouth.
After completing the Foundation course some delegates may feel overwhelmed of what do to next. We spoke to Abi one of our course coordinators and Lucinda from our marketing team who outlined the most popular next steps after Foundation training to help grow and flourish your aesthetic career!
