Anna Baker Skin Clinic
I
qualified with a Bachelor of Nursing from The University of Southampton in 2003 and began my journey into medical aesthetics in 2008 and have enjoyed a rewarding and diverse career to date. I’ve been privileged to have worked in a variety of settings and held many different clinical and teaching roles. One of the first positions that I held was a national role covering a number of aesthetic clinics across the U.K. called Destination Skin. This was a varied and interesting role working across different regions, managing the treatment & injectable diaries, as well as treating patients. This role took me across the country, from Glasgow, to Manchester, Northern Ireland, as well as the Southeast and Southwest. During this time, I gained my Independent Nurse Prescriber Qualification from De

Montfort University in Leicester. This qualification allowed me to autonomously and comprehensively assess patients face-to-face in order to safely prescribe & administer prescription-only medicines, such as botulinum toxin (line-relaxing injections), as well as other medical aesthetic treatments. Following this varied role, I embraced new opportunities and worked closely with a Consultant Plastic Surgeon based in the West Midlands. We set up 2 nurse-led medical aesthetic clinics-one of which was within The Nuffield Hospital in Cheltenham, which provided a varied treatment menu, including injectable treatments (dermal fillers & line relaxing injections), chemical peels, as well www.lancmag.com
