Examiner Tips

Expert advice for maximising your marks

💡In practical assessments, always verbalize your safety checks (e.g., aspiration before injection) to demonstrate awareness
💡Structure written assignments with clear sections on anatomy, patient journey, and evidence-based practice, citing current UK guidelines (e.g., JCCP, GMC)
💡Practice injection techniques on anatomical models to refine depth accuracy and hand positioning before live assessments
💡For complication management scenarios, follow a systematic ABCDE approach and know your emergency drugs and referral pathways
💡Stay updated with recent MHRA alerts and professional body statements regarding aesthetic practice

Common Mistakes

Pitfalls to avoid in your exam answers
