Botox and Dermal Fillers Courses for Nurses in Glasgow

Nurses play a huge role in providing aesthetic treatments; the British Association for Cosmetic Nurses (BACN) reports nurses provide 54% of dermal filler and 52% of botulinum toxin; significantly higher than doctors (13%), dentists (6%) and clinics (26%). So why is there such a higher number of nurses moving into aesthetics? Nurses are fantastic with patient care, offering support and spending quality time with patients. Not to mention the regular professional strains nurses face working within public healthcare, more than any other healthcare professional are subject to pay cuts, longer hours and working more than 35 hour weeks. Therefore, it’s more than reasonable for nurses to want to shift force and move into a highly profitable industry estimated worth at 2.2 billion and increasing.

At MATA, we are incredibly proud to be offering our Level 7 Diploma in Facial Aesthetics with newly located facilities in the heart of Glasgow. We are confident in expanding our aesthetic training into Scotland after notable success in London, with our prestigious facilities situated in Harley Street. Glasgow is a credible city, home to some of the most infamous physicians, not to mention our state-of-the-art facilities for our aesthetic training. Primarily as a nurse, I am sure you believe in the motto ‘practise makes perfect?’ We believe this is the case for newly qualified aesthetic nurses, which is why we are offering foundation, advanced and mentorship training. For example, on our foundation training days, we introduce you to Botox and Dermal fillers, specialising in techniques like Crow’s Feet, Forehead Lines and Glabella Lines. Our advanced course is designed to go deeper, essential for the necessary experience you need if you were to begin an aesthetics business or begin freelancing as an aesthetic nurse. For example, we will teach you the specialised injection technique for Dermal Fillers and Botox. Saliently, we will also cover critical aspects about handling any medical emergencies, giving you vital information in learning to become risk-averse.

We guide you through the process by ensuring you have enough information available at your fingertips, with access from units 1-7 on our VLE (virtual learning environment) and regular practical assessments or direct observational practices (DOPs). One other reason for our advantage of enlisting in our Level 7 Diploma is that we an official partnership with OTHM, an educational organisation responsible for the accreditation of our Level 7. We believe this is important because it closely follows JCCP and CSPA regulations also approved for nurses. Meaning as a patient carer, you become proficient with injecting injectables and confident with theory and knowledge of aesthetic treatments.
