ACE Group World launches Emergency Kit

The Aesthetic Complications Expert Group World has produced an Official Emergency Kit, containing everything required in the event of an aesthetic complication that needs immediate management, along with guidelines and recommendations for how to use it. 

Available exclusively through Cosmedic Pharmacy, the principle behind the kit is to give practitioners peace of mind that everything they may need to deal with a complication needing immediate treatment is at hand. 

Built to the exact standards required by ACE Group World and with all products safely stored in laser-cut foam and presented in a robust hard plastic case, the kit will be easy to store and transport. 

The Official ACE Group World Emergency Kit only contains prescription items that need to be immediately available, such as adrenaline and hyaluronidase, and does not include drugs that can be prescribed later, such as antibiotics. Please visit the relevant page on the ACE Group World website or Cosmedic Pharmacy for a full list of contents.

 The kit also contains printed algorithms as useful aide-memoires for the management of serious complications. These should not be a substitute for appropriate training and continuing professional development. 

Dr Martyn King, Medical Director of ACE Group World, emphasises the importance of training and education for the management of complications, “ACE Group World appreciates the stress and anxieties that practitioners experience when an urgent complication occurs, such as a vascular occlusion, and having the reassurance that they have the right tools at hand to manage these should help to reduce some of these anxieties.

“It is essential to have appropriate medicines and consumables at hand to deal with an urgent and immediate complication, and it could be considered negligent not having these if performing procedures such as soft tissue fillers. It is also imperative that practitioners are competent to use them and are able to demonstrate ongoing CPD in complications management.”

Bob Meville, Director of Cosmedic Pharmacy, said, “Cosmedic Pharmacy is delighted to partner with ACE as the exclusive supplier of the official ACE Group Emergency Kit.”

The Official ACE Group World Emergency Kit contains Prescription Only Medicines and can only be obtained by prescribing practitioners. It is exclusively available via Cosmedic Pharmacy. Practitioners will need to register with Cosmedic Pharmacy to be able to purchase the Official Emergency Kit, which costs £149 for ACE Group World members and £199 for non-members. Non-members who wish to join ACE Group World and meet the eligibility criteria can do so by visiting their website.
