Who is this training for?
For state-registered nurses looking to move into hair restoration.
- No prior experience is required.
- The nurse in a FUE operating room does not perform a simplified version of the surgeon’s work: they do different work, on which the survival of the grafts directly depends.
- The course covers operating-room assistance, graft handling and classification, the ischaemia protocol, quality control and post-operative care, alongside the Racine Carrée surgical team.

CLASSIC FUE TRAINING FOR NURSES
The programme,
day by day
The team, the field, the patient
| Time | Session | Type | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| 08:30 | Welcome and cohort mapping | — | Backgrounds, expectations, methodology. Logbook issued |
| 09:00 | The FUE team | Theory | Roles: medical director, lead technician, extraction technicians, coordinator. Who decides what, who reports what to whom, and the decisions only the surgeon takes |
| 10:30 | Break | Break | |
| 11:00 | Sterile field and instrument preparation | Hands-on | Full FUE set. Layout, sequencing, contamination points specific to a long session. Each participant sets up and is checked |
| 12:30 | Lunch | Lunch | |
| 13:30 | Patient management through a long procedure | Hands-on | Positioning, pressure points, hydration and breaks. Recognising vasovagal and anxiety signs. Communicating with an awake patient for six hours |
| 15:30 | Complete procedure observation | Live | From extraction to implantation. Participants shadow the nurse team, not the surgeon, and record the graft timeline independently |
Graft handling laboratory
| Time | Session | Type | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| 08:30 | Classification under microscope | Hands-on — scored | 1, 2, 3 and 4-FU. Each participant classifies a standardised sample; accuracy measured against instructor re-count |
| 10:30 | Break | Break | |
| 11:00 | Transected graft identification | Hands-on — scored | Morphological signs. Each participant works a sample seeded with a known number of transected units; detection sensitivity measured individually |
| 12:30 | Lunch | Lunch | |
| 13:30 | The ischaemia protocol | Theory + hands-on | Storage medium and temperature. Out-of-body time as an operational clock, not a guideline. Team ergonomics that shorten it. Running the log on a simulated full case |
| 16:00 | Graft transfer and handover | Hands-on — scored | Forceps grip at perifollicular tissue, never the bulb. Transfer without traction or crush. Loading a Choi implanter without bulb injury. 100 scored repetitions per participant |
Live assistance and quality control
| Time | Session | Type | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| 07:30 | Surgical briefing | Live | Case plan, role allocation, count and time targets agreed with the surgeon before incision |
| 08:15 | Assisting extraction | Live | One participant per operating room. Donor field management, tension and traction, cleaning, continuous transfer. Counting and handover discipline |
| 13:00 | Lunch / surgical pause | Lunch | |
| 14:00 | Real-time classification and quality control | Hands-on | Each participant classifies the harvest of the case they assisted, records the ischaemia log and reconciles counts with the operative record |
| 16:30 | Case debrief | Case study | Counts, timings, discrepancies. What was reported to the surgeon, when, and whether it was actionable |
Assisting implantation
| Time | Session | Type | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| 08:30 | Graft selection by zone | Hands-on | Assigning 1, 2, 3 and 4-FU to hairline, transition zone, mid-scalp and crown, and why the assignment is not interchangeable |
| 10:30 | Break | Break | |
| 11:00 | Assisting implantation | Live | Loading, presentation, handover and count reconciliation |
| 13:00 | Lunch | Lunch | |
| 14:00 | Second scored classification round | Hands-on — scored | Repeat measurement of accuracy and detection sensitivity, against the Day 2 baseline |
| 16:30 | Special cases | Case study | Curly and afro-textured grafts, grey hair, body hair, very small and very large units. What changes in handling for each |
Assessed case and documentation
| Time | Session | Type | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| 07:30 | Assessed live case | Live | Full assistance of one case from setup to dressing. Scored against the rubric |
| 12:30 | Lunch | Lunch | |
| 13:30 | Post-operative care | Hands-on | Dressing technique. First 72 hours, sleeping position, oedema. The first wash, demonstrated and practised. What the patient must be told, and how to check they understood |
| 14:30 | Complications the team sees first | Case study | Infection, folliculitis, excessive oedema, shock loss. What the nurse recognises, what must be escalated immediately, and what waits for the scheduled review |
| 15:30 | Documentation and photography | Hands-on | Operative record. Standardised photography: five positions, equipment, background, archiving. Follow-up at day 7, month 1, 3, 12 |
| 16:30 | Individual feedback and certification | — | Rubric scores returned individually. Logbook validated and signed. Certificate issued |
