The CNA Mandate

Cosmetic Nurses want recognition that they too hold specific skills and expertise in the area of Cosmetic Medicine. Much like a nurse who can specialise in emergency medicine, midwifery, or oncology.

It is the mandate of the CNA to develop the Best Practice Standards that will provide a training and education pathway to advance the skills, expertise and safety practices of Cosmetic Nurses.
