BACN update and response to the COVID-19 pandemic

Our CEO, Paul Burgess, and I wanted to bring you all up to date on how the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN) are managing during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is an unprecedented time, and we have a duty to protect our staff and our members engaging in BACN activities. Set out below is a summary of the actions agreed upon so far. These are being reviewed on a weekly basis, or when the Government issues new guidelines.

The pandemic comes at a particularly awkward time for the BACN, as we are currently dealing with many of our members renewing their membership, and our regional series of events are scheduled to start at the end of April 2020. The BACN can only operate with member subscription, so please, if your membership is expiring, do renew. Our promise to you is if we have to postpone or amend our activities, we will endeavour to ensure that we meet our promise to you all. Meetings can be rescheduled, held virtually and we are already in discussion with our partners about this.
