On April 4, the British Association of Medical Aesthetic Nurses (BAMAN) returned to The King’s Fund London to provide 166 delegates with advanced aesthetic education.
The day began with a welcome address from BAMAN’s new chair Amy Bird, in which she welcomed the enthusiastic nurses, and thanked them for their contribution to the specialty of the last 15 years. Aesthetic nurse prescribers Sharon Bennett, Sharon Brown and Sharon King were then presented with honorary memberships, along with a standing ovation.
The morning continued with advanced nurse practitioner Emmanual Toni speaking on the psychological impact of psoriasis and eczema; nurse prescriber Elaine Williams discussing the links between toxin, mood and perimenopause; and plastic surgeon Mr Tunc Tiryaki diving into the science behind exosomes.
Other talks throughout the day covered topics such as BHRT, managing patient expectations, regulation, complications and more. Dental surgeon Dr Lee Walker also took to the stage on behalf of headline sponsor Teoxane to present an overview of its RHA filler products for facial rejuvenation.
Bird commented, “Whether you’ve travelled far or you’re local, whether this is your first BAMAN event or one of many, you are incredibly welcome. You’re part of something bigger – a national network of medical aesthetic nurses dedicated to safe, ethical and progressive practice. Our strength as an association lies not just in what we do, but how we support one another. This day is for insights, connection and celebration.”
