Botox and Filler course - only for medics

Most Botox and filler courses are run by GPs or nurses. The course organisers strongly feel that non-surgical treatments are best carried out by doctors trained in facial aesthetics and able to manage any potential complications.

This course is run by Charles Nduka (consultant plastic surgeon), Bav Shergill (consultant dermatologist) and Mark Holmes, a currently practicing anti-aging doctor with a thriving practice. Because the course is only for medics (the majority of whom to date have been plastic surgical trainees) it gives focused attention on the practicalities of setting up a successful cosmetic practice. Feedback from past trainees has been excellent.

There are 5 discounted places available to PLASTA members - just quote PLASTA when booking to receive a 10% discount.

"Hands down the best aesthetic training I've experienced".

"100% better and more informative compared with other courses I've been on"

The one-day course is based in East Grinstead, at the McIndoe Surgical Centre, the largest dedicated cosmetic & plastic surgery centre in Europe.

Because nurses are excluded from this course, the main focus is hands-on, small-group training, ensuring you come away confident with the techniques. After a series of lectures on aesthetics, assessment, consent and pitfalls, the remainder of the day will be small-group practice of the newly-learned techniques on real patients. Setting it apart from other courses, you will also receive videos following the course with pre- and post-treatment images of the treated patients, allowing you to assess the efficacy of the treatments.

Importantly, the instructors are happy to be contacted to help resolve any issues you may encounter in your new cosmetic practice.

Places are very limited (a maximum of 6 candidates per instructor) and the course is currently held only held 3 times per year.

Places are reserved on a first come, first served basis - if you are interested, please visit:
