Nurse-led care
Why our treatments are nurse-led
Every treatment at Face Facts is planned and performed by a qualified, registered nurse. It is a deliberate choice, and it shapes how we assess, advise and care for you.

Barbara qualified as a nurse 30 years ago. Initially a senior staff nurse on a ward, then a Clinical Trials Sister for many years. After this she was a nurse specialist for complex asthma and pulmonary hypertension, and then a respiratory nurse specialist.
During this time Barbara studied for her BSc Hons in Nursing and a diploma in Respiratory Health. She has presented at local, national and international conferences, contributed a chapter on smoking cessation to a Respiratory Matters book, and worked as a visiting lecturer for the Respiratory degree at Northumbria University.
Barbara worked full time in the NHS from 1993 to 2026 and achieved a PgCert in Education, attached to her nursing registration with the NMC. She went on to gain an MSc in Education for Professional Practice and continues to present at education conferences. She also led a large educational project across the North East and North Cumbria, increasing placement capacity for trainee nurses, midwives and allied health professionals. Her team were shortlisted several times for the Nursing Times awards and won in 2023 for their Nurses on Tour work.
Alongside all of this, Barbara has run her aesthetic practice since 2012, training in advanced aesthetic injectables and dermal fillers. She has continued to develop her skills and now performs advanced procedures including non-surgical rhinoplasty and tear trough treatments, with a focus on regenerative and anti-ageing care.
