Let's get social with the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN)!

It is a busy time at the BACN headquarters, with lots of hard work going on behind the scenes to bring our members the best educational opportunities, both via our social media platform and in-person at our annual autumn conference.

Last month, 100 registrants joined the BACN Zoom webinar with Cara Docherty and Natalie McCartney of BTO Solicitors LLP. They discussed the principles of consent, as well as the importance of recording consent. It is essential that aesthetic nurses have a robust consenting process, not only to ensure that patients are able to make informed decisions, but to protect the practitioner against complaints or claims. It was a very informative webinar, sharing effective consent strategies to empower aesthetic nurses. A recording of it can be accessed via the BACN member's area of the website.

The BACN has just started a new three-part series on social media. ‘The Power of Paperless’ Instagram Lives are in partnership with Aesthetic Nurse Software. The series will discuss everything aesthetic nurses need to know on how to take their clinics into the digital age. The first episode discussed paperless record keeping and covered issues such as compliance, recording consent and the secure storage of patient records.
