Why the Core of Knowledge?

If you are offering laser and intense light souces services, you are required by law (CSA2000) to be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and to fulfil the National Minimum Standards.

The National Minimum Standards (NMS) are the statements or criteria that your facility must meet and against which your facility will be graded when the Care Quality Commission Inspectors visit.

One of the standards P2 contains the criteria for training for staff using lasers and intense pulsed light systems. It states that all laser and intense pulsed light users have training, which is recorded and covers the following:

• Characteristic features of Light from Lasers/IPL sources;

• Hazards from Device Malfunction;

• Equipment Management;

• Effects of Light on the Eye, Skin and Body tissues;

• Safety Management, including Local Rules and Controlled Areas;

• Introduction to Risk Assessment;

• Introduction to CSA 2000, CQC and NMS.

It is these points that constitute the Core of Knowledge course.

The NMS also require:

Staff using lasers/IPL equipment to have regular up to date training, both planned and in reaction to relevant technology and medical development;

Operators of lasers/IPL systems must only use them for treatments for which they have been trained and where appropriate, hold qualifications.
