Cosmetic Injectable Training for Nurses in Auckland
Although nurses throughout New Zealand have reported high levels of job satisfaction, the trials of the last year have had a cost; with many nursing staff reporting extreme stress levels, risk of burnout from long and unsociable hours, and increased feelings of anxiety and depression; alongside dissatisfaction with pay that is often not in line with the cost of living in Australia’s cities. Training in medical aesthetics has become increasingly popular amongst nurses not only in New Zealand but worldwide; as nurses find careers in aesthetic injectables to not only be more lucrative but also just as fulfilling as traditional nursing.
With a wealth of experience in working closely with patients, nurses are perfectly placed for success in the aesthetics industry, because:
Nurses have a variety of experience in minor procedures such as blood draws and cannula placement.
Nurses are skilled injectors used to administering to a variety of patients.
Nurses have experience in working directly with patients.
Nurses are accustomed to handling complications in a range of settings, whether in hospitals, medical practices, or in the community
Nurses are accustomed to working with patients post-treatment.
Our Doctors provide clinical oversight and standing orders to medical practitioners working in the field of Cosmetic Medicine. They do this under their scope as an Accredited Member of the New Zealand Society of Cosmetic Medicine. It is worth understanding the Medical Council Requirements when considering who to choose as your oversight doctor, so that you have confidence in that you are being provided with legally compliant clinical oversight. The Medical council of NZ require that oversight for category 2 cosmetic procedures: Be provided by a Doctor with the relevant Medical scope ( a Dermatologist, Plastic Surgeon or a NZSCM accredited Doctor.) i.e. a medical doctor who does not practice and have adequate training in the scope of cosmetic medicine can not provide legal oversight. Medical Council Standing order requirements also dictate that: the issuing doctor must personally assess the competency of each practitioner under the standing order and either countersign each medical note/ prescription OR undertake monthly audit of a proportion of clinical notes. Our Doctors are committed to providing quality, ethical and integrity driven clinical oversight to medical practitioners who share these values.
