Course summary

Course description




Our PGDip Skin Ageing and Aesthetic Medicine course is specifically designed for qualified medical or dental practitioners who want to develop their knowledge of cosmetic medicine.




This is an intensive part-time course encompassing the science of skin ageing and aesthetics, the application of evidence-based practice, and the clinical assessment and management of patients presenting with aesthetic problems.




You will be encouraged to develop a translational, professional approach to learning throughout the course, which can be applied to your future learning.




In addition, supervision and training is provided by national and international leaders working in aesthetic research, regulation and clinical practice. The combination of research and clinical expertise in skin ageing and aesthetic medicine at The University of Manchester and Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust will enable you to learn from an interdisciplinary faculty of dermatologists, plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons, maxillo-facial surgeons, dentists and psychologists, in addition to skin ageing and wound research basic scientists.




The theoretical component of this course is delivered online. You are also required to attend an induction day at the main University campus and two residential weeks (exact dates to be confirmed).




Aims




We aim to develop professionals with the ability to apply scientific principles and the latest evidence base to the practice of skin ageing and aesthetic medicine.




You will develop clinical knowledge, specialist practical skills and critical awareness of non-surgical procedures, supported by leading experts in the field.




On completion of the course, you will be able to demonstrate a number of competencies and have enhanced knowledge and skills including:





  • application of skin anatomy and science in relation to aesthetics and ageing

  • ability to assess patients' requirements and suitability for aesthetic intervention

  • application of consent and ethical practice in aesthetic medicine

  • explain clinical malpractice and legislation of manufacturing of drugs and devices in the aesthetic field of practice

  • procedural skills in minimally invasive aesthetic procedures including rejuvenation techniques, dermal fillers, botolinum toxin injections and some lasers

  • assessment and treatment of complications of these procedures

  • advise on the role of invasive aesthetic procedures

  • develop an evidence based approach to aesthetic medicine and practice

  • critically appraise and conduct high quality research in aesthetic and ageing medicine.



Career opportunities




With the gap in training highlighted by the UK government review of cosmetic practice, it is likely all aesthetic practitioners in the UK will need to provide evidence of their credentials.




Our course does not provide a professional competence framework, but goes beyond this to offer integrated knowledge and the application of critical skills enveloped within high quality professional behaviours.




Graduates of this course will acquire a comprehensive knowledge base that can be applied to their future or current clinical practice.
