From qualifying in 1984 I have opened business specialising in advanced skin treatments and electrolysis. During this time, I took myself back to university where I achieved a ‘Certificate of Education’ Degree. I accepted a position as a lecturer at Leeds College where I focused on Skin, Anatomy and Physiology and Electrolysis. Really loved working with the learners and seeing them progress. I have always remained a hands-on practitioner throughout the years and work within my clinic specialising on advanced blemish removal/reduction and electrolysis including transgender work for beard removal and Pre-SRS. (NHS Reg.) I continue to work as an independent educator and was privileged to be invited to be part of a team closely involved in driving the new national L5 qualification within our profession. Through this work I have become an advocate of dermoscopy and had the opportunity to co-author educational publications and privileged to be invited as a promotional speaker at advanced aesthetic and medical conventions. The work of an Electrolysist is extremely rewarding and I am a proud to be a member of the BIAE and all it stands for!
