Harnessing the power of the UK's hair and beauty professionals to promote self care and welfare in the community

Trichocare认为，英国有影响力的头发，美容和理发行业可以通过参与健康和科学培训为我们国家的福利做出额外的积极贡献。40，000名理发师，理发师和美容治疗师作为一个行业，受到Covid 19中断的严重打击，使他们无法执业。社交距离和减少交叉污染的需要将需要在重新启动时采用全新的行业实践。因此，从业者和他们的客户的自我护理原则需要广泛传播和采用。在科学和健康培训的最前沿近十年来，Trichocare将设计和开发一个新的在线教育计划，专为美发师设计，在短短3个月内推出与创新英国的支持。课程将是免费和付费培训和资格证书的混合。所有这些都将通过我们新的虚拟学习环境在线提供。这将使英国美发和美容行业能够迅速重新启动，并采取适当的病毒控制措施，以确保员工和客户的健康，健康和安全。“政府的长期计划是支持人们管理自己的健康，解决健康不平等问题，减少服务压力。这些变化应该意味着NHS可以开始解决它所面临的一些潜在压力。“_ _（www.longtermplan.nhs.uk）_数百名头发专业人士参加了Trichocare的毛发学资格认证。我们在这个专业市场中的独特专业知识和声誉可以通过以下方式实现更广泛和更长期的社会效益（产出）：1.向每周在沙龙2接受治疗的数百万客户宣传福利和自我护理信息。鼓励与药剂师而不是全科医生进行医疗保健互动，节省NHS数百万美元（不必要地使用NHS服务估计每年花费23亿英镑）提高头发专业人员的价值和忠诚度，提高英国经济中受打击最严重的行业之一的盈利能力和可持续性，该行业在2017年为英国经济做出了60亿英镑的贡献。长期的社会经济效益将看到头发专业人员促进更好的健康决策和更有效的互动与初级医疗保健服务。

TrichoCare believes the UK's influential hair, beauty and barbering profession can make additional positive contributions to our nation's welfare, by participating in health and science training.40,000 hairdressers, barbers and beauty therapists, as an industry, have been hit hard by Covid19 disruption making them unable to practice. Social distancing and the need to minimise cross-contamination will require adoption of totally new practices for the industry when restarting. Consequently, self care principles for both practitioners and their clients need to be widely communicated and adopted.Having been at the forefront of science and health training for almost a decade, Trichocare will design and develop a new online educational programme designed specifically for hairdressers launching in just 3 months with the support of Innovate UK. Courses will be a blend of free and paid-for training and qualifications. All will be delivered online using our new Virtual Learning Environment.This will enable the UK hair and beauty industry to rapidly restart with appropriate virus control measures in place to ensure the wellbeing, health and safety of both staff and clients._"Government's long term plan is to support people to manage their own health, tackling health inequalities and reducing pressure on services. These changes should mean that the NHS can start to tackle some of the underlying pressures it faces."_ _(www.longtermplan.nhs.uk)_Hundreds of Hair Professionals have participated in Trichocare's Ofqual Qualification in Trichology. Our unique expertise and reputation within this specialised market can be deployed to deliver wider and longer-term societal benefits (outputs) by:1. Promoting welfare and self care messaging to the millions of clients treated each week by in salons2. Encouraging healthcare interactions to be with pharmacists rather than GPs, saving NHS millions (unnecessary use of NHS services costs an estimated £2.3 billion a year)3. Improving the value and loyalty of Hair Professionals increasing profitability and sustainability in one of the hardest hit sectors of the UK economy responsible for a £6bn contribution to the UK economy in 2017\.The short-term immediate promotion of the initiative within and outside the sector will contribute to its much-needed revival with new safety measures in place to control the virus. Longer term socio- economic benefits will see Hair Professionals promoting better health decisions and more efficient interactions with primary healthcare services.
