Jennie Hawkins
Jennie has been a plastic surgery nurse for several years and started working with La Belle Forme in 2010. She previously attended the La Belle Forme Botox and Fillers Training Course where she was personally trained by Mr Taimur Shoaib. Since then, Jennie has enjoyed a practise in cosmetic treatments in her home town. In October 2011, Mr Shoaib asked Jennie if she would join his team at La Belle Forme on a more permanent basis and the whole clinic was delighted when she agreed.
Jennie previously worked at the Canniesburn Plastic Surgery Unit as a nurse in the out patient department and the wards. There, she nursed patients who had recently had surgery or were in need of dressings and out patient treatments. As a nurse working with several plastic surgeons, she developed an interest in cosmetic treatments. Jennie has developed an expanding practise since her initial training by Mr Shoaib.
Jennie also worked at Stratchcarron Hospice at Stirling, providing holistic nursing support and care to people with life limiting illnesses.
We are delighted that Jennie can offer you a wide range of cosmetic treatments to help achieve your aims.
