We are committed to having relevant and informative conversations about all aspects of our industry.

As can be seen by this week's BAS newsletter where Richard Oliver provides an expert account of what to consider when dealing with adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in patients.

These are the conversations which help to keep our industry accountable and elevate the standard of care, and results, for patients.

This is also the standard of information you can expect at the BAS 2027 Annual Conference - we are enjoying inviting the best voices in our field to share their expertise.

This year we moved the BAS Annual Conference to a two day format and as Dr Vito Damay explains here it allowed us to bring so much more value to our audience.

So we’re keeping the same format for BAS27 - with a day of medical veins, aesthetic veins and then all the best speakers and resources for elevating your practice.

Loved hearing from Tara Outram this week, who shared her experiences with Short Wave Diathermy (SWD).

Tara detailed the amazing results she's had with SWD - so much so they've been called 'magic' - but also how this was a simple addition to her practice.
