One of the best ways our doctors and specialists here at the Ashley Centre can stay innovative and improve their work is to attend events such as the Australian College of Cosmetic Surgery’s annual conference. Several of our staff attended this year’s conference in Adelaide from 21st-24th April and found much benefit in hearing about the latest procedures, research and techniques from other specialists from across Australia and other parts of the world.
Among the international guest speakers were Miami based dermatologist Dr Leslie Baumann, Canadian plastic surgeon Dr James Daniel, and Italian plastic surgeon Dr Daniel Cassuto.
Attendees from The Ashley Centre included Dr Ashley Granot, Dr Simon Rosenbaum and Dr Ahmed Omarjee.
Dr Omarjee was particularly interested in lectures about the latest techniques with fillers and Botox, presented by Dr Betser and Dr Kane.
Dr Rosenbaum attended all the lectures on breast augmentation, in search of anyone who could better his own statistics on complication rates. He came away feeling assured that his complication rate is one of the lowest (no accident).
And Dr Granot was asked to be on the panel in the interactive session on liposculpture, along with four of his colleagues. Of particular interest to him in the lecture program were Dr Evans’ lecture on melasma and of course the hot topic of stem cells.
Our practice manager Helen Winter and patient manager Frances Genovesi went along too. They attended all the lectures on how to improve the delivery of services to the most valuable person - the patient.
In between the formal presentations, our doctors and staff also got to mingle and share ideas with Australian and international specialists, and compare their thoughts on all things cosmetic and the future trends in the cosmetic arena. One of the social evenings was the Taste of South Australia night at the University of Adelaide’s Kerry Packer Gallery, where everyone appreciated sampling cheeses and wines from the Barossa and surrounds. Esthelis sponsored this shindig and we thank them for the yummy night!
Our staff are now back at work and will continue applying their newfound skills and knowledge to deliver the best services and results they can. Stay tuned!
