Our meticulously structured curriculum delivers comprehensive knowledge and practical skills across several key domains:

Stem Cell Science and Applications

• Fundamental principles of stem cell physiology and regenerative biology
• Current UK and European regulatory framework for stem cell therapies
• Evidence-based applications of stem cells in tissue regeneration
• Mechanisms of action in scar remodelling and tissue restoration

Advanced Scar Assessment

• Standardised scar evaluation using validated assessment tools (POSAS, VSS)
• Differential diagnosis of hypertrophic, keloid, atrophic and contracture scars
• Patient-specific risk stratification for treatment planning
• Documentation protocols that meet UK clinical standards

Regenerative Treatment Modalities

• Comprehensive overview of available regenerative therapies including:
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Preparation, activation and application techniques
  • Nanofat harvesting, processing and delivery methodologies
  • Exosome science: Biological mechanisms and clinical applications
  • Hybrosome technology: Combined approaches for enhanced outcomes
• Evidence ratings for each treatment modality based on current research
• Cost-benefit analysis and treatment selection criteria

Practical Application Techniques

Advanced microneedling protocols optimised for different scar types Precise delivery methods for biological agents Combination therapy approaches for synergistic results Treatment customisation based on anatomical location and scar characteristics Patient Management Developing realistic treatment expectations through evidence-based counselling Comprehensive consent processes aligned with GMC guidelines Pain management strategies specific to scar treatments Post-procedure care protocols to optimise outcomes and minimise complications

This specialist training programme is meticulously designed for qualified healthcare professionals who encounter and treat scarring in their clinical practice, including:

• Dermatologists seeking to expand their regenerative medicine treatment options
• Plastic and reconstructive surgeons looking to enhance post-surgical outcomes
• Aesthetic physicians wanting to address challenging scars that resist conventional treatments
• Specialist nurses in wound care, burns, and dermatology advancing their clinical skills GPs with special interest in dermatology expanding their practice capabilities
• Maxillofacial surgeons managing complex facial scarring

Prerequisites

Delegates must be registered healthcare professionals with appropriate clinical qualifications (GMC, NMC, GDC). Basic competence in injection techniques and prior experience with primary scar management is expected. Participants should have completed foundation training in aesthetic medicine or relevant surgical speciality training.

Patient safety and ethical practice form the cornerstone of our educational philosophy. This course places significant emphasis on:

• Adverse event management specific to regenerative treatments
• Infection control measures for invasive procedures
• Evidence-based dosing and administration guidelines

Ethical Practice

• Patient selection criteria based on clinical appropriateness
• Transparent communication about evidence levels for emerging therapies
• Responsible marketing of regenerative treatments
• Management of patient expectations through informed consent

UK Regulatory Compliance

• MHRA guidelines for biological therapies and medical devices
• HTA considerations for tissue processing
• NICE guidance on scar management and wound care
• CQC expectations for facilities offering these treatments

Clinical Governance

• Audit methodology for tracking outcomes
