Absolutely delighted! The Royal Society of Medicine’s recognition of aesthetic medicine as a formal medical specialty marks a significant advancement for public health, safety, and regulation. This decision underscores the need for stringent standards in a rapidly growing field that blends medical expertise with cosmetic procedures. By establishing aesthetic medicine as a specialty, it ensures that practitioners are held to rigorous medical standards, enhancing patient safety and minimizing risks associated with unregulated treatments. Moreover, it promotes better regulatory oversight, professional accountability, and advanced training, ensuring that aesthetic procedures are performed by qualified professionals. This is a huge leap forward, providing public reassurance and elevating the legitimacy and safety of aesthetic treatments. #aesthetic #aesthetics #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ #aestheticmedicine #royalsocietyofmedicine

My focus on intergrating science-based longevity practices into my role as a nurse, business owner, and within my home life, has been a driving force for years now. Listen in as I sit down with Dr. Tim Pearce, bringing attention to forward-thinking methods and practices within the medical aesthetics industry. This shared passion for Longevity, and a drive for consistent results, paves a new path for clinicians and patients alike. Dr. Pearce continues to give these discussions a well deserved platform, and there is much more to come! Your beauty. Our science. The Cosmetic Clinic continues to exceed industry expectations, while maintaining the results our patients seek. We are unlocking beauty that lasts a lifetime: inside and out. Where science meets artistry, in my journey as a Cosmetic Specialty Nurse, CEO, and Longevity correspondent. https://lnkd.in/eHh9qxXx

You may be aware of what physician assistants do in the United States, but what about in other countries? The Irish PA profession graduated their first class of students less than seven years ago, and we discuss the challenges they experience as they build their profession from the ground up. Our guests today are Lisa Mustone Alexander, PA-C, Director of the Physician Associate Program at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, Ireland, and Kieran Morrissey, a current student in her program, as they discuss the Irish approach to meeting critical healthcare shortages. @ Links in the comments. #physicianassociate #irishhealthcare #physicianassistant

📣 Calling all GP clinicians looking to get into full arch! I have a valuable mindset shift to share with you today. As general practitioners, you are trained to save teeth. However, when it comes to full arch consultations, you need to shift your focus to two things: improving the patient's function and health. At New Day Smile, we've seen patients with a beautiful fixed bridge but no molars to chew and no posterior bone. By offering them an all on x or implant-supported overdentures, we can significantly improve their quality of life by giving them the ability to chew. So instead of focusing solely on a beautiful smile, let's prioritize the patient's ability to eat and function normally. Let's shift our mindset from "saving teeth" to "improving function and health." I'll be sharing more tips and insights for clinicians interested in full arch on a weekly (or monthly) basis. Feedback is greatly appreciated! #understandingourtrueproducts

So, why would doctors choose a career in family medicine, also known as general practice? Lifelong Care 🌟: Family physicians care for patients of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. This diversity keeps the work interesting and rewarding. Office-Based Practice 🏥: Unlike many specialties, family physicians typically run their own offices or work in outpatient clinics. This allows for more predictable work hours and less emergency department or hospital duty. Flexibility ⏰: Family medicine offers flexibility in scheduling, with options for daytime and evening appointments. This means more control over your time and less need for overnight shifts. Preventive Care 🍏: By emphasizing preventive medicine, family physicians help patients maintain good health and reduce the need for acute care, promoting a better work-life balance. Close Doctor-Patient Relationships 💙: The specialty fosters strong doctor-patient relationships, which can be deeply rewarding. Knowing your patients over the long term is a unique aspect of family medicine. Family medicine offers not only professional satisfaction but also the gift of time for a fulfilling personal life. It's a specialty that recognizes the value of balance. #FamilyMedicine #WorkLifeBalance #PhysicianWellness 🌈
