Introduction

Are we there yet? You could be forgiven for thinking we were on a never-ending rollercoaster with COVID-19 as a year has now rolled around, and the full lifting of restrictions across the whole of the UK is unlikely until deep into the summer months. Thankfully, things seem to be getting back to normal for the aesthetic sector, much to the relief of clinic owners and managers since the doors were reopened last April. In May 2020, we created a free, open-access Covid-19 Relaunch Resource Centre to help aesthetic businesses reduce the time taken to research and prepare for safe trading after lockdown. We are delighted to have been awarded a "Highly Commended" in The Beyond Beauty Award for Professional Initiative of the Year at the Aesthetics Awards 2021. The resource (still available to registered Consulting Room Members) has grown to have over 150 key documents, webinars, checklists, and surveys pertinent to COVID-19 and aesthetics.
