MD_Biography
DR STEPHEN BASSETT
I am a front-line doctor with 20 years experience in medicine.
I graduated from UWCM in 1992 with an additional First Class Honours degree in pharmacology, specialising in the hormonal pharmacology of skin pigments.
I was an emergency physician at Swansea NHS Trust until 1996, and until 2003 a partner and GP Trainer at the Sketty and Killay Medical Partnership, the largest medical practice in Wales. During my partnership, I led on prescribing, Chaired the Swansea Bay Consortium, and set up a busy and succesful acupuncture clinic.
In order to pursue legal and ethical studies, in 2004 I took the lawyers’ Common Professional Exam with Distinction and the Hammicks Prize for Best Student, and was called to the Bar in 2005 at the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn.
I have integrated my medical and legal skills in the field of mediation, and am currently an accredited mediator with the UK’s largest mediation provider, the ADR Group, and also a past member of the Family Mediator’s Association.
I bring this passion for quality to my cosmetic practice, and have trained to advanced level with the best.
I have published on law in cosmetic medicine in the leading journal, Bodylanguage, and will be previewing my forthcoming book to an international audience on this subject at FACE 2009.
I created ShapeCYMRU to bring the highest professional standards in to a relaxed, non-medical environment, and am particularly proud to be associated with the professionalism and imagination of Mr Hywel Jenkins and the team at the Lazy Frog Flotation Centre - another first for Wales.
I want to create a welcoming atmosphere where integrity, intelligence and imagination can flourish.
