ACE Group World – Consent to Use Clinical Photographs for Educational Purposes

Thank you again for allowing ACE Group World to support you and your practitioner during your recent treatment complication. As part of improving safety and raising standards across aesthetic practice, we sometimes share anonymised clinical photographs or videos for professional education. These images help other practitioners recognise complications earlier, understand how they present in real‑world cases, and learn how to manage them safely and effectively.

We are writing to ask whether you would kindly consider giving permission for your anonymised photographs or videos to be used by the Aesthetic Complications Expert (ACE) Group for educational purposes. Your images may be especially valuable because your case was managed with ACE guidance, and real‑world examples like yours help practitioners across the UK and internationally learn how to recognise and manage complications safely and effectively. By allowing your images to be used, you would directly contribute to the training of other clinicians and help improve patient safety for those who may face similar concerns in the future.
Your privacy and dignity are always protected. Any images used will be fully anonymised, and no personal details will ever be shared. You are free to decline, and your decision will not affect your care or the support you receive.
If you are happy to give consent, please complete the short form below. If you have any questions at all, we are here to help.
Thank you sincerely for considering this. We are deeply grateful to patients who allow their images and experiences to be used for educational purposes, especially at times that may have felt stressful or worrying. Your willingness to share your journey makes a meaningful difference to the wider aesthetic community and helps us continue improving standards of care for everyone.
