Hayley Mckay
Independent Nurse Prescriber
I left University in 1998, as a registered nurse, and secured my first role on the Burns and Plastic Surgery Unit at Royal Preston Hospital. I worked here until 2005 before moving into the community and working as a Practice Nurse and Dermatology Nurse.
In 2010 I had the opportunity to move into the rapidly growing field of aesthetics. I worked for a busy medical aesthetics clinic, alongside plastic and reconstructive surgeons, and other registered nurses. We carried out a wide range of surgical and non surgical aesthetic procedures. In 2014 I became the owner of Penwortham Skin and Laser Clinic, and I’m fortunate to be able to say it has been a huge success.
We are a small but perfectly formed team, focused on delivering high quality care, advice and treatments. This care and attention to detail is what keeps our business successful. As a registered nurse with an extensive and relevant background, I am passionate about imparting as much accurate knowledge and information as I can to my patients.
In turn patients appreciate my professional registration, qualifications and background. It gives them confidence that they will receive a high standard of care and after care, in an industry that can be difficult to navigate.
Kerry Hawes
Registered Nurse
I qualified as a Registered Nurse after completing my training at The University of Central Lancashire in 2025. During my 4 years of training, I worked as both a student nurse and a healthcare assistant within the NHS, which gave me the opportunity to rotate through a wide variety of hospital settings. These included burns, plastics and surgical units, as well as medical wards, theatres and many other specialties. This experience has provided me with a broad foundation of knowledge across many fields of nursing, and a strong appreciation for delivering safe, high-quality care.
Growing up as the daughter of Hayley, a nurse prescriber and the founder of Penwortham Skin and Laser Clinic, I have always been fascinated by the skin and the way it functions. Watching my mum build the clinic and care for her patients inspired me to follow in her footsteps, and I am proud to now be working alongside her in this field of nursing.
My background in surgical nursing has given me a detailed knowledge of skin health and healing, which I now bring into every aesthetic treatment I provide. I am committed to offering safe, professional and personalised care, ensuring patients feel confident and supported throughout their journey.
Joining the team at Penwortham Skin and Laser Clinic is a natural progression for me, and I look forward to working together with my mum to deliver the highest standards of medical expertise, treatments and aftercare.
