From NHS to Aesthetic Leader: Meet Simon Thorpe

Introducing Simon Thorpe – an experienced practitioner who has been transforming lives through aesthetics since 2018.

Currently balancing his role as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner in primary care and minor operations, Simon also runs a thriving aesthetics clinic, seeing around 50 patients per week alongside his dedicated team.

A Journey Into Aesthetics

Simon’s journey into aesthetics began in an unexpected way – through encouragement from one of his own patients.

“A patient encouraged me to explore aesthetics, and that simple suggestion changed everything.”

Since then, he’s built a reputable, trusted clinic and a loyal client base, grounded in clinical excellence and genuine care.

Building a Strong, Clinical Team

Unlike many solo practitioners, Simon leads a team of five highly skilled clinicians, most of whom previously worked together in the local hospital.

With over 20 years of shared experience, this close-knit team brings exceptional teamwork, professionalism, and consistency to patient care.

Today, Simon’s clinic is:

• The largest team in Wokingham
• Treating the highest number of patients locally
• Holding the most 5-star Google reviews in the area

What Makes Simon’s Clinic Unique?

Simon’s clinic, Thames Valley Aesthetics, stands out for combining minor operations with advanced aesthetic treatments, offering patients comprehensive care under one roof.

Their approach is built on:

• Clinical expertise
• Honest consultations
• Patient education
• High-quality outcomes

Popular services include wrinkle reduction and rejuvenation treatments. Simon always offers free consultations to help clients feel informed, confident, and supported prior to their treatment.

The Biggest Challenge – and the Biggest Reward

Like many business owners, Simon’s biggest early challenge was gaining visibility.

“Initially, it was getting noticed and attracting new clients.”

Through consistency, exceptional patient care, and strong word-of-mouth, his clinic quickly grew into one of the most trusted practices in the region.

For Simon, the most rewarding part of his work remains:

“The relationships we build and the confidence we help our patients develop. That’s what makes it all worthwhile.”

Why Simon Chose Aesthetic Nurse Software

When it came to choosing practice management software, Simon didn’t hesitate.

“ANS was my first choice.”

From day one, Aesthetic Nurse Software has supported his growing clinic with simple, intuitive systems.

How ANS Supports His Clinic

Simon relies on ANS every day for:

• Effortless diary management
• Easy patient onboarding
• Streamlined workflows
• Instant access to before & after images
• One-click patient history

“It makes our lives so much easier.”

Being able to quickly access patient records and visual results has also helped improve consultations and build trust.

A Recommendation from Experience

When asked what he would say to practitioners considering ANS, Simon’s answer was clear:

“It’s the first choice for any practitioner. They won in the aesthetics awards in 2024 – that speaks for itself.”

Looking Ahead

With a strong clinical background, an experienced team, and the right systems in place, Simon continues to grow his practice while maintaining the high standards his patients expect.

We’re proud to support practitioners like Simon who put patient care, professionalism, and quality first.
