Celebrating Our Cosmetic-Registered Nurses This International Nurses Day 2024

International Nurses Day on May 12th is our chance to shine a spotlight on the incredible nurses at the heart of healthcare. 

This year's theme, "Our Nurses. Our Future. The Economic Power of Care", is all about recognising the sometimes-overlooked contributions nurses make, not only to our health but also to the wider economy.

At Laser Clinics United Kingdom, we're proud to celebrate our nurses and their vital role in helping our clients achieve their best selves. Their expertise, commitment to patient care, and passion for delivering results are core to everything we do. 

This International Nurses Day, we're taking a moment to acknowledge the incredible value they bring to Laser Clinics and the broader aesthetics industry.

 

Beyond The Bedside: The Economic Impact of Nurses

Nurses are often seen as the backbone of traditional healthcare, but their contributions extend far beyond the hospital. 

The growing medical aesthetics market, worth an estimated $15.4 billion in 2023 and predicted to reach $25.9 billion by 2029, highlights the significant economic role nurses play.

Nurses bring invaluable expertise that translates directly into economic benefits. 

Studies show that higher nurse-to-patient ratios can lead to shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and reduced healthcare costs

Additionally, nurses play a vital role in preventive care, promoting overall community health and driving a more productive economy.

The stresses of the pandemic have sharply focused on the challenging working conditions many nurses face. This has prompted some nurses to seek opportunities in the aesthetics industry, where they often find improved hours, better work-life balance, and a less stressful environment.

In 2023, Harley Academy, one of the few UK institutions that train medical professionals to provide injectables, and cosmetic dermatology observed a 24% increase in new recruits monthly.

Founder Dr Trisan Mehta believes this surge is linked directly to healthcare workers seeking a reprieve from the pressures of the NHS. He further notes that the sector is becoming more and more legitimised with increasing regulation. 

While this shift may present challenges for traditional healthcare settings, it highlights the need to better support, compensate, and value nurses across all specialties.

 

The Essential Role of Nurses in Aesthetics

At Laser Clinics United Kingdom, we deeply understand the unique value that our Cosmetic-Registered Nurses bring to the aesthetics industry. Beyond their foundational medical knowledge, nurses in our clinics bring a unique combination of technical skills and aesthetic understanding.

  • Deep Understanding Of Anatomy And Physiology: Nurses know how the skin, muscles, and underlying structures work together. This knowledge is essential for safely and effectively administering Cosmetic Injectables or Laser Treatments.
  • Injection Expertise: Nurses have extensive experience administering injectables, ensuring safe, accurate placement and optimal results.
  • Laser Safety and Technology Training: Nurses receive extensive training on the latest laser technologies, allowing them to deliver the best possible results while prioritising safety.
  • Aesthetic Sensibility: Nurses work closely with clients to understand their individual goals and develop personalised treatment plans to achieve natural-looking enhancements.

“Nurses bring a unique blend of clinical expertise, patient-centred care and ethical integrity to the field of aesthetics, making them invaluable assets to businesses operating in this sector. 

At Laser Clinics Group, we have over 400 registered cosmetic nurses who take the time to educate patients about treatment options, expected outcomes and post-procedure care, ensuring informed decision-making and optimal results. As part of this community there is support, education and opportunity,” says Kathryn Bran RN, Group Head of Inject & Body BN, Grad Dip Periop, MBA.

The role of nurses in aesthetics is vital in ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. Their medical background and patient-centred approach make them the true backbone of Laser Clinics.
