Save Face sets Essential Training Curriculum Standards for registrants

Save Face has developed Essential Training Curriculum Standards (ETCS) for procedures identified by an audit of consumer and patient complaints that pose the highest risk.

The ETCS have been approved by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). In addition, aesthetic insurer Cosmetic Insure will recognise the standards and offer reduced premiums to Save Face registrants.

The ETCS will enable practitioners without Level 7 or University awards to benchmark their knowledge and skills against a PSA recognised standard. It is a self-assessment tool to map against training courses, CPD activities and self-directed learning.

It ensures registrants can be certified as having the knowledge and skills, as defined in the curriculum, to competently deliver these treatments.

In combination with the Save Face Accreditation, the ETCS is another method that our registrants can utilise to differentiate themselves, as Save Face only recognises healthcare professionals able to prescribe within the scope of aesthetic practice.

The ETCS certificate will only be awarded to Save Face registrants, though the standard itself is accessible to all.
