The Autumn 2011 BTEC programme is the most ambitious week that we have ever attempted as we continue to move the Qualifications out of the lecture room and into clinic and minor operations rooms.

The programme is based upon the usual expert delivery involving lectures and support from:

Jo Martin Clinical Director Mapperley Park

Mrs Sarah Pape Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Royal Victoria Hospital, Newcastle

Mr Bruce Braithwaite Consultant Vascular Surgeon, Nottingham Hospital Trust

Paul Stapleton Managing Director and LPA, Mapperley Park

Stan Batchelor Head of Radiation Physics, Guys and St Thomas Trust, London

Peter Bennett Optical Safety Specialist, LaserPhysics Limited

This expertise, while it can be transferred through a formal lecture programme comes alive when demonstrated against the range of available equipment.  Our programme will deliver at least 10 practical sessions against 20 laser and light treatment modalities using at least 12 differnet systems.

Workshops are supported by manufacturer/distributors including ABC Lasers, Aesclepion, Aestheticare, Candela, Carleton, Cutera, Cynsosure and Syneron. 

The workshop programme will cover the following applications

Q-switched lasers for tattoo and pigmented lesions - Ruby and Nd:YAG - 532, 694 and 1064nm

Hair removal applications - Alexandrite, Nd:YAG, Diode and IPL - 755, 800-810, 1064nm and Broadband light

Vascular lasers - Nd:YAG, Pulsed Dye and Diode lasers - 532, 585, 595, 940, 980 and 1064nm

Non ablative systems - Pulsed Dye, Nd:YAG, Near IR and RF - 858, 1064 – 1500 and Radio frequencies

Ablative lasers - Erbium and CO2 - 2790, 2970 and 10,600nm

This knowledge and expertise will be smoothly transferred and assessed through a programme of in-course assessment and feedback.

Finally, work-place assessment is carried out through the completion of a log-book and a 3,000 word Case Study, demonstrating the application of skills and knowledge in a clinical setting.

This course is the most comprehensive and practical laser training course available today.
