2020: is there a change in the air for aesthetic practice?

Sharon King

It seems that 2020 is moving at a ferocious pace. While many are still recovering from the Yuletide festivities and gently easing themselves back in to the pace of work and planning for a prosperous year, it seems that we have been bowled not one, but several, curve balls that will probably have some considerable bearing on the businesses and practice of everyone working in the field of aesthetic medicine.

The development of the advanced Aesthetics National Occupational Standards (Professional Beauty, 2020) landed in my inbox the second week of the New Year, with a short window of opportunity during which we could have our say. I imagine it lay sleeping somewhere quiet and warm over the holiday period waiting to reign havoc. Hopefully, enough nurses will have taken the time to read and comment as its vitally important that our voice is heard.
