Following the exceptional success of its inaugural event in 2025, the Welsh Aesthetics Symposium returns for 2026 with an ambitious, forward-thinking programme that firmly positions it as one of the most comprehensive aesthetic conferences in the UK calendar.
The first Welsh Aesthetics Symposium was widely praised for its high-quality education, meaningful networking, and focus on the realities of modern aesthetic practice. Delegates valued the balance of clinical content, business insight, and regulatory clarity — a formula that has now been expanded and refined for the second year.

The morning opens with a welcome from Founder Claire Amos, followed by essential sessions addressing the foundations of safe and compliant practice. Talks include legalities of documentation and record keeping, advertising rules around cosmetic interventions, and the importance of insurance, ensuring delegates are fully informed on governance and professional responsibility.
Technology and business growth are also a strong focus, with insights into how software systems can support clinic efficiency and scalability, alongside sessions on referrals, patient retention, and membership models that grow revenue without increasing marketing spend.
