Students at the University of Central Lancashire
have been offered Botox and other facial enhancements at discount prices as part
of the institution's new masters programme in medicine.
Feminist campaigners in the student body are outraged by the offer, claiming that the university has failed its duty of care and is promoting unhealthy ideas of beauty and aging among young people at a vulnerable age.
Registered students are now able to book appointments for Botox and fillers, lip enhancers, facial peels and laser treatments, all conducted by healthcare professionals who are studying for an MSc at the university.
The service is offered as part of the university's MSc/PGDip in Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics for Registered Healthcare Professionals.
The graduate programme offers a part-time qualification in facial cosmetic enhancements for healtcare professionals wishing to branch out into the a booming industry.
A spokesperson from the university said: 'Over recent years, the provision of non-surgical facial aesthetic treatments has emerged as a key growth area within healthcare delivery in the United Kingdom.
'UCLan's MSc/PgDip Facial Aesthetics programme is designed to ensure that practising clinicians, be they doctors or dentists, are recognised to be the leading evidence-based practitioners in their field.'
The saddest thing about the situation is the revelation from the Dental Clinic, where the procedures will take place, who claimed that a number of students have registered their interest.Take control of your energy needs with skystream, the personal wind turbine that converts wind into clean.

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have created a prosthetic arm that is the most sophisticated mind-controlled prosthesis ever created. Using a mix of cutting edge hardware and complex programming, the team has enabled a 52-year-old woman paralyzed from the neck down by a degenerative neurological disorder to move a robotic arm and hand with a degree of nuance and fluidity never before seen.
That's not just a boon for the prosthetics community of course, but for the whole discipline of brain-machine interfaces--a field that is enjoying both an influx of funding (in the wake of two wars that have seen many soldiers lose appendages to improvised explosive devices) and huge leaps in capability thanks to better algorithms that can translate brain signals into the appropriate mechanical movements.
