Cosmetic Surgery Training

Patients and Cosmetic Surgery Training

Training and continuing medical education are as important in cosmetic surgery as in other branches of surgery. However, there has been a reduction in the training available to surgeons in cosmetic surgery in the NHS over recent years.

As a result, consultant surgeons from several medical specialties, including plastic surgery, are looking at new ways of delivering hands-on supervised cosmetic surgery training within the private sector. 

Mr Henley is a National lead for training in Cosmetic surgery and was the Founding Chair of the JCST Training Interface Group in Reconstructive Cosmetic Surgery to provide high level surgical training on behalf of all the Royal Colleges of Surgeons in the British Isles and HEE (Health Education England).

He is currently working with all stakeholders to promote best practice in surgery and aspires to develop hands on training at both local and national levels.
