Specialist qualification in Cosmetic Medicine

The BACD (British Association of Cosmetic Doctors) has developed the only UK post graduate qualification specifically about medical cosmetics and accredited by a medical school. The diploma in cosmetic medicine, offered with Leicester Medical School, provides a theoretical and practical foundation for cosmetic doctors. BACD president, Dr Mike Comins, says “ The diploma is a giant step towards regulating cosmetic medicine because it is the only diploma accredited by a medical school specifically for doctors. It will help the public recognise and pick doctors who are trained in aesthetic procedures. It may be cosmetic but it is still medicine. If you had a problem with your knee, you would go to a qualified specialist and the same principle should apply to cosmetic treatments”.
