Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine
a one-to-one, personalized, mentorship-focused program with intensive clinical hands on practice
Transforming Careers in Aesthetic Medicine since 2014
Aesthetic Medicine Mentorship
Recognised as the first & longest running Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine in the UK for doctors. A program tailored for medical professionals,focusing on advanced injectable treatments. Harley Street Institute has been running the Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine for over 10 years.
Known for our comprehensive training, our graduates consistently open their own clinics or are highly sought after by other clinics and agencies for prestigious positions.
At its core, the Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine has been specifically designed to develop and refine injecting skills and procedures required for a career in Aesthetic Medicine through mentorship, akin to a surgical rotation. Perfect for beginners and intermediates but also for those with advanced experience
What to expect
The Fellowship offers a structured pathway into Aesthetic Medicine, addressing the specific challenge of not having a standardized injectables and skin curriculum.
The program provides ample amounts of hands-on training in a clinical practice setting by experienced clinicians, something that a Masters in Aesthetic Medicine simply cannot.
Central to its curriculum is the hands-on clinical practice on live patients which differentiates it from most Masters in Aesthetic Medicine or Postgraduate Diplomas in Aesthetic Medicine.
Providing over 84 hours IN CLINIC experience, students & staff complete a logbook in order to ensure necessary treatments have been completed. Sample Calendar can be found here[link to page to collate name info profession email address phone number and interested date .

Frequently Ask Questions (FAQs)
The duration of the Fellowship In Aesthetic Medicine is 6-8 weeks. Normally, attendance is 1 day a week on a 1-2-1 practical training basis, plus group workshops every other weekend alongside your peers studying the Fellowship within the same enrolment period.
The Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine is suitable for delegates who have completed Foundation Training in Aesthetics, that are highly motivated to expedite their skills and experience within the industry. It is also suitable for those who have been working within the industry but would like to tackle more advanced techniques and improve their confidence.
Our training courses are available to Doctors, Dentists and Nurses.
This is a unique training programme, aimed to escalate practitioner skills to an advanced level, with intense mentorship by experts who are passionate in delivering the best evidence-based teaching methods to date. The Fellowship has been designed with a holistic approach in mind, providing a strong foundation in the principles of Medical Aesthetics from skin, hyperkinetic lines, volume loss and early sagging skin to advanced facial contouring and knowledge of cos-medical treatments such as hyperhidrosis, bruxism and migraines. Additionally, we have constructed modular weekend workshops, where the Fellows come together, and have found this method of integrated learning to be both enjoyable and informative.
In order to make the most of your training, you are strongly encouraged to self-direct your learning using the resources from our online portal as well as further reading. Regular assessments and feedback sessions ensure that the mentorship and support that we provide is tailored specifically on an individual basis.
Unlike many other training programs, you will be integrated as part of the team during your stay, observing a range of treatments on our busy day clinics and required to assist and learn on the job as you would in a real clinic. We believe that this level of exposure, further to your training, is fundamental in obtaining a realistic insight into the business aspects of Aesthetic Medicine.
Yes, the Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine is better than an MSc from a university because many Master’s programs lack practical, hands-on experience in actual aesthetic clinics. While some may offer attachments in dermatology departments, these experiences often do not directly translate to comprehensive training in aesthetic procedures like botox injections, dermal fillers, and skin rejuvenation. Our fellowship program distinguishes itself through mentorship-style training, providing direct, practical learning opportunities essential for developing aesthetic medicine proficiency.

This is the perfect program to improve and learn new skills to kickstart your career in the aesthetics world."
Dr. Etemad-Shahidi
"I have been on the fellowship programme with the Harley Street Institute for the past 6 months under the mentorship of Dr Haq. The programme has been extremely invaluable in augmenting my confidence, skills and knowledge in aesthetics medicine. Dr Haq has made the process thoroughly enjoyable by explaining things in an easily digestible manner through a variety of teaching methods including seminars, live demonstrations and most valuable of all, observed practice on clients. I feel thoroughly supported by the whole team at Harley Street Institute and can approach them with any questions I may have."
Dr. Rahul Shah
"A truly excellent course in a superb location with very small class size and an opportunity for thorough hands on experience.
The course leader had a great approach to teaching, guiding me as a student through a refresher in facial anatomy, a quick yet comprehensive review of the pharmacology of Botulin toxin, and then onto very useful tips and tricks for my own practice.
I was initially quite apprehensive regarding dermal fillers, but I left with a new confidence and a desire to get started as soon as possible.
I couldn't recommend this course highly enough for anyone who wants to get started in this extremely exciting market; you will leave with the skills and confidence to set you apart from the rest of the field."
