Proximity Healthcare, the UK’s premium nurse and healthcare employment agency, is looking for RNs to do cosmetic/aesthetic/plastic surgery nurse agency work in Northampton. Demand for cosmetic procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, is on the rise in the UK. This is due to factors like increasing disposable income, an ageing population seeking rejuvenation, and advancements in techniques that allow for outpatient procedures. As the number of procedures increases, so does the need for qualified nurses to assist surgeons and care for patients.
The field of aesthetics is a relatively new and expanding area within nursing. Nurses who specialize in aesthetics can perform non-surgical procedures like Botox injections, chemical peels, and dermal fillers. This requires additional training and certification, but can be a rewarding career path with great earning potential.
To do this job, You’ll need to be a registered nurse (RN) in the UK. This means having completed a three-year nursing diploma or a four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree from a Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) approved program. Having some general nursing experience is beneficial. This could be in a hospital setting, critical care, or another area.
