The Injector Diaries (Chapter 18) with Kelly Beasy

With Kelly Beasy, Nurse Practitioner, Brisbane, AustraliaHosts Dr Jake Sloane and David Segal

About this episode

The Injector Diaries feature in-depth conversations with injectors from around the globe, from newcomers to masters. We explore how and why they started injecting, the products they favour and what happens under the hood of their clinics.

In Chapter 18, Brisbane nurse practitioner Kelly Beasy explains what nurse practitioners do and shares her move from emergency nursing into aesthetics, her early training and surviving the first years.

We discuss mentorship and community, consultation and rapport, the Brisbane market, the industry slowdown and spending shifts, the decline in fillers, balancing clinic work with training, new injector readiness and what competency should look like, the regulation debate and advertising restrictions, training as a specialty, logbooks, industry consolidation, high-risk treatments, avoiding injector RSI, and complications and ultrasound.
