Highlights of the Aesthetics Business Conference 2023

The carefully selected industry speakers never fail to deliver, and this year was no exception. Dr Manav Bawa kicked off the day with his talk on how to start your business, followed by Dr Harry Singh, who focused on the patient journey. Dr Priya Chadha delivered a fantastic talk on training, and Owen Woods, Head of Marketing at Hamilton Fraser, shared his top tips on marketing for practitioners. Eddie Hooker, founder and CEO of Hamilton Fraser, imparted his insights on insurance before the focus turned to the major legislative change coming to the sector.  

This year’s ABC was the first opportunity for practitioners to learn about the proposed licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures, and top licensing barrister, Sarah Clover, delivered an excellent talk on this topic. Sarah was followed by Professor David Sines, who is well-known in the sector as Chair of the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP). There isn’t much David doesn’t know about the new regulations and during the second half of the day guests had the opportunity learn how to prepare for the changes in the medicolegal session, where David was joined by Sarah and fellow JCCP board members, Diane Hey and Andrew Rankin. The expert panel provided their advice to guests seeking answers to a range of questions, helping them to navigate the next stage in their aesthetic journey and future-proof their practice.  

Sponsored by Merz Pharma, ABC 2023 offered up to eight hours of CPD accredited points, knowledgeable speakers and exhibitors with a wide range of expertise in the aesthetic sector, and a champagne reception to round off the day.
