Cosmetic Injectable Training Courses for Nurses & Clinical Oversight

Anti-Wrinkle and Dermal Fillers Training fro Nurses

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.

Why Nurses should train in cosmetic injectables:

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.

Clinical Oversight and Standing Orders

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.

Benefits for Nurses

Although there is an initial cost to training in aesthetic injectables, the benefits of this training can be vast. MATA graduates from nursing have reported that training in anti-wrinkle and dermal fillers has:

Increased their earning potential, to the point where some have left traditional nursing all together to focus solely on aesthetic practice.

Given them a level of independence in their work in a less stressful environment.

Allowed them to spend a greater amount of one-on-one time with clients, which is often impossible in traditional nursing.

Given them the skills they need to work in established aesthetic clinics or even start their own businesses.

Provided a better work / life balance as the need to work long or antisocial hours decreases.

MATA courses are exclusively available to nurses, doctors, and dentists, so your fellow delegates will be drawn from these professions.

If you’re looking to move out of traditional nursing in hospitals or the community, then training in aesthetics can be the way to achieve this. MATA delegates from nursing have gone on to work for established aesthetic clinics, and some have even started their own businesses; both focusing solely on aesthetic treatments.

Absolutely. Training in aesthetics will open up your options, but what you decide to do with the training is up to you. You may find part-time or freelance work in aesthetics that you can fit around your existing role; or you could move to part-time in traditional nursing and make up your hours and enhance your income in aesthetics practice.

I attended the foundation botox and filler training in Glasgow. Met a lovely group of ladies and we were trained by Sarah who was so knowledgeable and took time to explain everything and answer all of our questions. Even though I inject every day in my own work as a nurse, I was still nervous about potential complications but Sarah made us all feel comfortable and we were confident injectors by the end of the course 😊
