The Aesthetics United Charity Conference (AUCC) has launched a Rising Star initiative for registered doctors, dentists or nurses who have been practising in the aesthetics industry for 12 months or less.

Successful applicants will get the opportunity to present alongside a headline speaker on the main stage at the AUCC, and will gain mentorship from the same headline speaker.

Practitioners can apply on the AUCC website.

Dr Lara Watson, co-founder of the AUCC alongside Dr Priyanka Chadha, said, ‘Through our surgical training and the running of training group Acquisition Aesthetics, Dr Chadha and I really understand the importance of strong mentorship and a supportive working environment. The objectives of the Rising Star initiative are simply to identify and nurture talent, to provide opportunities for mentorship and collaboration and to support the progression of our industry through facilitating the next generation of leaders.”

The conference will take place on June 19, at the Sofitel, St James in London.
