NEXT GUEST SPEAKER: DAWN HUGHES

There are HR experts.

There are employment law experts.

And then there’s Dawn, who actually understands medical aesthetics.

We’ve worked with Dawn for years, through Affinity HR and our Aesthetics HR brand, and so have our clients.

She knows clinics. She knows the industry. And she knows employment law.

Dawn will be speaking in the afternoon at The 8th Day, with opportunities for one-to-one conversations later in the day.

This is access you don’t normally get.

You didn’t hire a team to become the bottleneck.

But somewhere along the way, that’s exactly what’s happened.

Every question comes to you.
Every decision comes to you.
Every problem finds its way back to your desk.

So instead of buying back your time… you’ve just bought yourself more work.

That’s not delegation. That’s dependency.

And it’s costing you more than you think.

Because you’re paying for a team…
and still doing the job of a team.

There comes a point in business where being “needed for everything” stops being a compliment and starts being the problem.

Your team should create capacity: not consume it.

This is exactly why the 8th Day exists.

A day to step out of the noise, see what’s really happening in your business, and fix the things that are quietly draining your time, energy, and profit.

Not more hustle.
Not more hours.
Just better structure.

The 8th Day.
Work on the business, not in the chaos of it.

This is why you need our next speaker

Introducing Hannah Russell

From science teacher to building and launching Glowday in 2020, Hannah’s journey is one of resilience, growth and real honesty about what it truly takes to scale a business.

In her talk, “What You Need to Do, Learn and Lose to Grow a Business”, Hannah will share the unfiltered reality behind building a company from a blank page to acquisition, navigating funding rounds, leading teams, product development, a global pandemic, investment withdrawal and layoffs along the way.

She’ll also explore the emotional side of entrepreneurship: letting go of something you built, knowing when it’s the right move, and finding purpose afterwards.

Whether you’re growing your clinic, building your brand or dreaming bigger for the future, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Early bird tickets are now available.

The VAT Workshop is a live, in-depth training day designed specifically for medical aesthetics.

It provides clear explanations of VAT exemption, partial exemption, and VATable treatments, grounded in real case studies and how HMRC actually assesses clinics.

This isn’t generic VAT guidance.

It’s sector-specific training built for clinic owners, injectors, and practice managers who need clarity they can rely on.

Delivered with practical application, not theory, the workshop is designed to support better decision-making and reduce costly mistakes.

This is the VAT training the medical aesthetics industry has been missing.

Our 2027 VAT Workshop dates are now LIVE on our website:

26th February 2027
22nd April 2027
10th September 2027

I created the VAT Workshop because I kept seeing the same issue repeat itself.

Well-run medical aesthetics clinics placed at risk, not through wrongdoing, but through misunderstanding and poor advice.

VAT in this sector is complex.
Exemption is nuanced.
And decisions made without full clarity can be costly.

After years of working exclusively with medical aesthetics clinics, supporting clinics, exemption reviews, and high-risk VAT decisions, it became clear that this industry needed better education not generic training.

The VAT Workshop was built to provide that clarity.
Grounded in real HMRC reasoning, sector-specific expertise, and lived clinic experience.

No shortcuts. No assumptions.
Just the reality of VAT and how it applies to your clinic.
