Registered with both the South African Nursing Council and the United Kingdom Central Council of Nurses, she is also a member of the Royal College of Nursing. After qualifying as a general nurse, Kathy worked extensively as a theatre nurse in the field of cosmetic surgery in South Africa and then gained additional, invaluable theatre experience while working for a highly acclaimed cosmetic surgeon in London’s famed Harley Street.

Kathy’s personal attributes are, however, every bit as important as her professional experience. Caring and compassionate, she offers a reassuring presence when tending to patients’ needs, but also confidently advises them on issues relating to their surgical procedures and any other questions they may have.

Mediscapes will arrange post-operative care for clients on request and ensure that you are expertly attended by a private nursing practitioner registered with the South African Nursing Council and The Society for Private Nursing Practitioners.

Should you require more intensive care, including assistance with daily ablutions and other routine activities, your personal caregiver will be supervised by a member of this professional service.

The beauty therapists on the staffs of the clinics recommended by Mediscapes have all passed the examinations of CIDESCO, the Comité International Desthétique et du Cosmétologie.

Founded in Zurich, Switzerland in 1946 and still headquartered in this city, CIDESCO is represented in 33 countries worldwide and its diploma is the most prestigious qualification in the field of aesthetics and beauty therapy. Over 160 closely supervised schools around the world teach the organisation’s acclaimed standards during a training period of 1200 hours, although outside students with at least 600 hours’ or three years’ salon experience may also write the examination of the world’s major international beauty therapy association … which is currently headed by a South African.

Your beauty therapist’s CIDESCO badge is your assurance that you are being treated by a person who has been trained to the highest standards in the world.
