Why join
the CNA

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.

  • The CNA will educate patients on how to choose an appropriately qualified Cosmetic Nurse to ensure their safety across all treatments.
  • The CNA will work in partnership with Medical Practitioners and the relevant medical bodies to ensure the focus of non-surgical cosmetic treatments remains seen as medical procedures.
  • The CNA will provide Cosmetic Nurses with a plethora of clinical skills possibilities, thereby enriching their career pathway.
  • The CNA will draw attention to providers of non-surgical cosmetic treatment who fail to follow sound corporate and clinical governance guidelines and best practice standards.
  • The CNA will facilitate networking, research, and publications.
