‘Are you still a Nurse’?
‘You used to be a nurse didn’t you’?
Phases we often hear in this industry.
Just because I’m an Aesthetics Nurse doesn’t mean I stopped being a nurse.
I didn’t leave nursing — I specialised.
The NHS is just an employer, the same as private hospitals or clinics and nurses specialise in many different areas.
I am a REGISTERED NURSE
which means I still follow the same professional standards, still revalidate every three years, and still uphold the Code set by the NMC (Nursing Midwifery Council) , my governing body.
This means ongoing education, evidence-based practice, and being accountable for safe, ethical care whatever field of nursing you choose to work in. When you revalidate you have to submit and evidence all of the above, within your field of practice. Still a nurse just different coloured scrubs and a different specialty
Here’s a little snapshot of my history
My nursing career began in Acute Coronary Care, followed by several years in Emergency Departments then General Practice as a Practice Nurse and Nurse Manager where I specialised in women’s health and safeguarding. Throughout my career before specialising in aesthetics, I have undertaken numerous additional training including; TNCC (trauma Nurse Core Course) ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support), Diploma in breast care and cervical screening, to name a few.
I am also a qualified Basic Life Support instructor.
I bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and skills to clinic. Skills I use every day. BUT you don’t have to work in the NHS to maintain nursing registration because Aesthetic Nursing is recognised by the NMC as a specialty.
Aesthetic medicine is not beauty therapy, it is a clinical field.
Every treatment I offer is grounded in science, extensive training, and medical understanding. From assessing facial anatomy to patient wellbeing — this is advanced, specialised nursing ✨ 🩺
