Seven out of ten physicians now use their smartphones for medical education and clinical training (JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2023). That’s why we built the Avanti App, it puts e-learning courses, a clinical peer community, direct trainer messaging and emergency support in one place, available from your phone, tablet or desktop.
The app is for registered medical and healthcare professionals who train with Avanti. It gives you continued access to Dr Rikin Parekh and his training team long after your Fundamental 5 course days are done. So what does our ongoing support actually look like?
Key Takeaways
- The Avanti App includes a clinical community feed, e-learning courses, direct messaging and emergency trainer support for aesthetic practitioners.
- Mobile learning produces significantly higher clinical skills scores than traditional methods across 52 studies (PLOS ONE, 2022).
- You don’t need to download the app. All features are accessible by logging in to our website on desktop, tablet or mobile.
What Does the Avanti App Include?
A meta-analysis of 52 studies covering 4,057 learners found that mobile apps produced a large effect on knowledge improvement in medical education, with 33 of 52 studies showing significant gains (PLOS ONE, 2022). The Avanti App is built around five core features designed to support that kind of ongoing learning:
- Community news feed – a private clinical community where delegates and trainers post treatment plans, share outcomes and support each other
- E-learning courses – modules you can complete on the go, even whilst offline
- Direct messaging – one-to-one communication with other delegates and Avanti trainers (emergency situations)
- Emergency trainer support – direct access to clinical guidance for urgent situations like patient complications
- Blog and news – the latest updates, clinical insights and announcements from Avanti
Each feature maps to a different stage of your post-training journey. The news feed keeps you learning from peers. E-learning builds your knowledge base. And trainer support gives you a safety net when you need it most.
How Does the Community News Feed Work?
A systematic review of 50 healthcare communities of practice found that 46% communicate entirely virtually, with a further 26% using hybrid models (PLOS ONE, 2023). The Avanti news feed follows the same principle. It’s a private, clinical community where delegates and trainers can:
- Post treatment plans for peer review before treating a patient
- Share clinical outcomes and before-and-after results
- Ask questions and get feedback from experienced practitioners
- Stay up to date with Avanti news and industry developments
What if you could get feedback on a treatment plan before your next patient walks in? That’s the practical value it offers. It isn’t a social media feed. It’s a clinical support network.
In our experience, delegates who actively use the news feed in their first few months post-training build clinical confidence faster. Having peers and trainers a message away changes how you approach unfamiliar cases. You’re not figuring things out alone.
The same systematic review found that healthcare communities of practice led to a 50% reduction in central line infections at one site, dropping from 1.7 to 0.4 per 1,000 line days. Clinical competence scores also improved significantly elsewhere in the review (PLOS ONE, 2023). The evidence is clear, structured peer support works.
What E-Learning Courses Can You Access?
A 2025 study of 168 nurses found mobile learning achieved a 93.45% completion rate, with knowledge scores rising from 60% to 84% (JMIR Nursing, 2025). Completion and retention both improve when learning fits around clinical schedules rather than competing with them.
The Avanti App gives you access to your e-learning courses anywhere: commuting, between patients, or at home after clinic. Courses download for offline access, so you don’t need a Wi-Fi connection to keep learning.
How do you keep clinical skills sharp between patients? Short, focused modules you can pick up and put down make the difference. The app links directly to your training pathways, so you can track progress through the full Avanti curriculum, from foundation aesthetics training through to advanced techniques.
How Do You Get Direct Trainer Support?
A study of 96 nurses found that 64.2% reported improved self-confidence through mentorship, rising to 84.2% among those mentored for one to two years (Nurse Leader, 2022). In aesthetics, when you’re treating real patients from day one, that confidence isn’t optional.
The Avanti App gives you two levels of trainer access:
- Posting on the news feed for day-to-day questions: treatment planning advice, product selection, technique queries
- Emergency trainer support via DM for urgent clinical situations: if something doesn’t look right you can reach a trainer directly
What happens when you’re mid-treatment and something unexpected occurs? Having a direct line to an experienced aesthetic practitioner changes how you handle that moment. It’s the difference between guessing and knowing.
We’ve seen delegates use emergency support for everything from unexpected swelling patterns to questions about vascular anatomy during a procedure. The feature exists because we know the first months of independent practice are when you need backup most.
A systematic review found clinical supervision improved the process of care in 12 out of 14 studies, covering 38,483 episodes of care (BMC Health Services Research, 2017). Ongoing access to experienced trainers isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s evidence-based practice.
For delegates who want additional hands-on time, the Clinic Experience Day is available as a standalone session. Most graduates return one to three times in their first few months to maintain and build skills.
Can You Use It Without Downloading the App?
Not keen on another app on your phone? You don’t need one. All the same features, including the news feed, e-learning courses, direct messaging and trainer support, are available through your browser at avantiaestheticsacademy.co.uk.
Log in from any device: desktop, tablet or mobile. The experience is the same. You’ll see the same courses, the same community feed and the same messaging tools. Nothing is locked behind the app.
For those who do prefer the app, it’s available on the Apple App Store (iPhone, iPad, Mac) and Google Play Store (Android).
Who Can Access the Avanti App?
According to a 2025 review in The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 69% of medical spa directors lack core aesthetic specialty training, and the field has no national or international standards for education milestones (JCAD, 2025). That’s exactly why structured post-training support matters.
