Our 3-day courses are accredited with the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP: www.bipp.com) and attract 18 CPD points via the Faculty of Forensic and Legal Medicine (FFLM) in London (www.fflm.ac.uk). Each course is conducted by experienced photographers, doctors and make-up artists.
- All equipment is provided, including one external flashlight and one Nikon D3400 SLR camera per student.
- Eligibility for Licentiate of BIPP, with LBIPP post-nominal.
- Maximum of 12 students per course.
- Delegates may complete the 3 days over separate courses if this is more convenient. The three days must be completed within 6 months to be eligible for the assessment for LBIPP.
- If you require a bespoke training course at a specific venue and date, or you need advice/ consultancy on establishing a medical photography service, we will be happy to discuss this: please contact us at info@patientfocused.co.ukfor further details.
In addition, we offer the following single day courses:
Introductory Courses: if you just want an introduction to photographing patients without committing yourself to a 3-day course, this covers the basics of how to hold a Digital SLR properly, avoiding camera shake, medico-legal issues, things to consider before, during and after photography etc.
Refresher Courses: if you're familiar with photographing patients but just want an update or need to discuss any problem areas.
As with our 3-day courses, the single-days are CPD-approved, all equipment is provided, and we have our make-up artists in attendance.
Terms and conditions of course/ Privacy Policy.
Before and after pictures: a bit of cleaning can make a huge difference in appearance.
