Aesthetics Complications Expert Group goes global
The Aesthetics Complications Expert (ACE) Group has launched ACE Group World to offer help, support and education to practitioners in other countries around managing complications.
The ACE Group was established in the UK in 2011 with the remit of producing evidence-based, peer-reviewed guidelines in the management of common and serious complications experienced in non-surgical aesthetic practice. These guidelines are freely available to aesthetic practitioners and many of them have been published in Aesthetic Medicine.
With a 4,000-strong membership, the organisation offers education and support through its online platform (website and forum), email and 24-hour emergency helpline.
International demand led to the launch of ACE Group World to provide a similar service globally based on the requirements of individual countries. Countries will have their own website, forum and conferences and will work with existing membership organisations to facilitate the management of complications around the globe.
The ACE Group website has also been extensively updated with new branding and features. This includes a new easy-to-remember emergency helpline number and a new form and social media channel for members. As well as this age group practitioners can purchase patient information leaflet to use in their own clinical practice.
Director Dr Martyn King said, “ACE Group works with aesthetic organisations, professional bodies, media, pharmaceutical companies, patient groups, insurers and regulatory bodies to provide professional advice.
“Our mission is to improve regulation in the medical ascetics sector, to raise standards in training and clinical practice and ultimately improve patient safety.”
