Barbara Deakin
RGN, Aesthetic Consultant, UK
I qualified as an RGN with Manchester Area Health Authority and worked in the Burns and Plastics Unit before joining BUPA Nursing Services in 1980.
Whilst with BNSL acquired skills in clinic management and agency nursing services for 7 years eventually specialising as a Special Contracts Manager for the recruitment of nursing personnel to specifically promote new products to GPs throughout the UK.
When BNSL was acquired by another company I returned to my previous experience to use my burns & plastics skills again and joined Transform Medical Group as an Aesthetic Nurse Advisor and worked with them for 12 years. During this time I held clinic management roles in Bowdon and Bristol, Regional Management in the south of England and undertook training to provide non surgical treatments in their clinics throughout the south of England.
I was then headhunted by by Ultralase Ltd to set up a new eye laser surgery for them in Bristol before joining Inamed Aesthetics Ltd. I worked within both the Facial and Breast Aesthetics divisions as a Aesthetic Sales Manager training both surgeons and nurses on the various products throughout the southern region of the UK.
In 2005 I realised my own ambition and set up my own consultancy service within the aesthetics market and currently enjoy considerable success in this market.
