About this event

  • Date and time Fri 4 Sep 2026 from 8:30am to 6:00pm
  • Location Royal Society of Medicine
  • Organised by Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery

Join us for the flagship annual Congress of the RSM Section of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery, a senior-level multidisciplinary meeting focused on clinical judgement, regenerative innovation and responsible aesthetic practice. 

As aesthetic practice evolves through regenerative science, new technologies and AI integration, clinicians must balance innovation with safety, ethics and sound decision-making. Through keynote lectures, case-based discussion and open reflection on complications and long-term outcomes, this Congress brings together leading faculty across aesthetic medicine, surgery, dermatology and dentistry to examine risk assessment, escalation and defensible real-world practice, focusing on judgment and anatomy rather than technique alone.

This Congress is designed for consultants, GPs, SAS doctors and experienced aesthetic practitioners navigating the increasing complexity and scrutiny of modern aesthetic medicine and surgery. It also supports early-career clinicians seeking strong foundations in safe and responsible aesthetic practice.

Why attend?

  • Gain senior-level insight into complex decision-making, complication management and escalation strategies
  • Learn from a multidisciplinary faculty spanning aesthetic medicine, surgery, dermatology and dentistry
  • Explore regenerative approaches, emerging technologies and AI within an evidence-based clinical framework
  • Strengthen your ability to practise safely and responsibly under increasing professional and regulatory scrutiny

Aims of the event

  • Provide multidisciplinary, evidence-based education supporting safe and sustainable aesthetic practice
  • Strengthen clinical judgement, anatomical understanding and risk stratification in aesthetic medicine and surgery
  • Explore regenerative and technological advances within an ethical and regulatory framework

Learning outcomes

By the end of this meeting, participants will be able to:

  • Apply senior-level clinical judgement and risk stratification in aesthetic decision-making, including when to defer, escalate or refer
  • Improve anatomical safety and select appropriate techniques across common and complex aesthetic indications
  • Critically evaluate regenerative treatments and emerging technologies within an evidence-based, ethical and regulatory framework

Who should attend?

  • Consultants, GPs and SAS doctors practising aesthetic medicine or surgery
