The current Covid-19 vaccine rollout continues to be a huge success story for the NHS and all those involved in the planning and implementation of the vaccination programme should be congratulated for their amazing effort. 

At long last there is light at the end of the tunnel, with the infection rate reducing dramatically and the pressures of the NHS lessening day-by-day, with a fall in hospital admissions and Covid-related deaths. 

During 2020, it became almost impossible to maintain normal private cosmetic practice, with provider hospitals contracted to the NHS to assist with the Covid response effort. While there are still some difficulties in offering patients dates for cosmetic surgery, it seems likely that towards the end of the summer it will be business as usual.

Consequently, I am now able to plan resumption of my cosmetic practice from August 2021.
