Habia are supporting the work of Health Education North West London (HE NWL) who are leading a project to review qualifications required for non-surgical cosmetic procedures and the qualifications required to be responsible prescribers.
HE NWL will work closely with regulators, royal colleges and other key stakeholders including Habia. This follows recommendations produced by Professor Bruce Keogh in his well-documented review.
In September 2013, Health Education England (HEE) established an Incubator Project to take forward this work. Led by Charles Bruce, Managing Director for HE NWL, the purpose of the project is to develop minimum standards of education qualifications, values and attitudes for the safe and effective provision of non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
As part of the review, HE NWL will make recommendations on suitable bodies to accredit qualifications for providers of non-surgical interventions going forward. Furthermore, the review will provide sample curricula for education programmes, contribute to raising awareness on what to expect from the different cosmetic non-surgical interventions and the risks associated with these treatments, and will improve levels of safety and standards.
Habia as the Standards Setting Body are encouraging industry professionals and educators, all of whom help shape the industry, to inform this review - which includes curriculum content, teaching, quality and accreditation, CPD and existing standards in areas including dermal fillers, laser treatments and chemical peels.
To contribute to the Call for Evidence visit the HE NWL website.
Until then...geek on!
