The "Core of Knowledge"  information covered in the above syllabus is based on the Department of Health's MHRA document "Guide to Safe use of Lasers, Intense Pulsed Light and LED's in Medical, Dental and Cosmetic Practice".

It is currently a requirement that all staff working in premises registered with the Care Quality Commission undergo training on the "Core of Knowledge". It is also often a requirement by Indemnity Insurance providers. The recently introduced "Artificial Optical Radiation Safety" legislation is also covered

The training has been developed by experienced staff in conjunction with a registered Healthcare Scientist and laser specialist with over 25 years experience working with lasers, all presented in a simple way.
No prior knowledge of Lasers or Intense Pulsed Light devices is assumed as the structured format will take users through the topics to bring everyone to the required level. Many diagrams, photographs etc are used to illustrate the theory.

In addition to the "Core of Knowledge" extra topics are covered concerning the theory behind the most common laser/IPL aesthetic treatments, the optimum laser wavelengths and IPL filters that should be used in various circumstances. Client skin typing is also covered including a numerical scoring system to determine the correct skin type prior to laser or IPL use.

The subjects will be revised during you on-site Machine/Operational training.
