The British Association of Cosmetic Nurses' (BACN) membership is now at an all-time high, with over 900 members. The admin team, Gareth Lewis and Tara Glover, will be sending out a short survey to capture membership characteristics.

In more recent events, the BACN are responding to the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) and the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice's (BCAP) call for evidence or responses with regard to cosmetic interventions and having a mandatory age-based restriction. They are consulting on introducing new restrictions prohibiting the advertising of cosmetic intervention from being directly targeted at the under 18s population. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), which administers the CAP and BCAP codes, has asked the BACN for its response. The consultation period will close on 22 October 2020 at 5pm.
