BACN holds revalidation roadshow

The British Association of Cosmetic Nurses has completed its 2016 Revalidation Roadshow.

The event was rolled out in London, Cambridge, Milton Keynes, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Southampton, Bristol, Leeds, Glasgow and Belfast.

Using guidelines from the Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC) and the experience of BACN members who had been through the NMC Pilot Project, a presentation was put together that enabled all those who attended to become “registered BACN confirmers” and be able to undertake the “reflective discussions” as part of the revalidation process. 110 BACN members signed up to the revalidation register and are now able to provide a revalidation service to other members.

Paul Burgess, BACN chief executive, said, “I never cease to be amazed at the fraternity that is the BACN. The nurses turn up in numbers to every event and in this case have signed up to help each other with revalidation. As more and more of them go through the process it will become easier and with our regional structures in place they will be able to help each other even more”.

BACN chair Sharon Bennett added, “The BACN was set up by nurses, is run by nurses and this is a fantastic example of how we all work together to help each other.”
