An exciting year for medical aesthetics

So far, this year has been an exciting one for the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN).

Our membership steadily grows, and the buzz of face-to-face meetings once again has been energising for the organisation.

Zoom meetings are now a distant memory, as we have been running our regional events around the UK. These meetings have received a hugely positive response from our members. We are keen to reach them all throughout the UK and have restructured the regions. This has resulted in new leads and more meetings. Therefore, our sponsors are increasingly visible to a higher number of nurses. We are fortunate to have members who have been qualified in medical aesthetics for several years, and there are also members who are newer to the industry. We have received positive feedback that newer members do benefit from those with more experience. However, ultimately, we all learn and grow from learning about each other's experiences. It is a great way to feel supported in what can, at times, be an isolating role for some. The assistance of others and having the opportunity to discuss various issues, such as the availability of different products, among other concerns, is a real source of support for our members.
