Donna Sydenham – Clinical Lead and Nurse Prescriber
Donna has extensive nursing experience working within a number of areas within the NHS. She was initially a District Nurse and trained extensively in tissue viability where she developed a keen interest in wound care and dermatology.
She then went into the area of anticoagulation where she specialised and still works in the NHS today as an Anticoagulation Nurse Specialist. She enjoys teaching and holds a lecturing post teaching anticoagulation at MSc level to post graduates at Birmingham University before moving on to Warwick University. She is still involved with undergraduate and postgraduate medical education including providing clinical supervision/support to delegates.
As well as teaching, Donna has been involved in research projects, has published articles and is currently a national speaker for several major pharmaceutical companies.
Several years ago, Donna decided to follow her passion and move into the aesthetics sector adding aesthetic nursing skills to her ever-growing medical portfolio. She joined the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses (BACN) and received extensive training and two-year mentorship from one of the leading UK aesthetic practitioners and trainers (Mr Andrew Rankin, formally Vice-Chairman of the BACN).
Donna aims to lead an aesthetics company that strives to deliver clinical excellence to its clientele. Her goal is to ensure clients receive aesthetic treatments in a non-rushed environment that is welcoming and friendly but also clinical and safe, adhering to high standards of practice.
