Approved training for medical professionals using lasers in clinical and surgical settings
Lasers and intense light sources are widely used in the medical field for vascular treatments, dermatology, and plastic surgery procedures. Additionally, high-powered lasers are commonly used in various surgical operations, including those performed by ENT specialists, plastic surgeons, surgical nurses, and dermatologists. Regardless of qualification, laser training is not routinely included in medical education. Our industry-approved medical and surgical laser safety courses provide the essential safety training needed to incorporate laser treatments into your practice safely and effectively.
We understand your need to complete training in the shortest time possible, so we have designed specific course content to match each situation.
Operators of lasers in any medical field still require evidence of training in laser safety as a recognised workplace hazard.
For example, lasers are capable of igniting a fire in a surgical setting and have caused adverse outcomes. All operators and those inside the nominal ocular hazard area require a Laser Safety Certificate in compliance with WorkSafe regulations, and as referred to in the AS/NZS Laser Safety standards. Our range of Laser Safety Certification courses are designed for doctors, nurses, surgeons, dermatologists, aesthetic practitioners, and medical professionals working with laser technology in any professional setting.
