Keeping up to date is essential for all doctors, nurses and dentists in the aesthetics business.

As a doctor we have to keep a record of all ‘continuing professional development’ learning that we do throughout the year, in addition to our clinical practice. The General Medical Council requires at least 250 hours per 5 years, in the last year alone I have completed over 300!

Recently I have completed diplomas in complex mental health, and British Sign Language as I have special interests in these areas, so this journal is a welcome change of topic again!

We all have the products and techniques that we prefer, and trust, but keeping up to date with new developments is essential!
