Independent Prescriber's Needed

Well, there are lots of practitioners who want to enter the field of aesthetics, but are too frightened by the regulations to take the leap. The main concern comes from the need to have an Independent Prescriber to prescribe Botulinum Toxin A, which some of our customers don't even realise is a prescription only drug.

Like any business, we should realise that when we don't have a certain skill, either we can learn how to gain that skill or we can outsource that skill to others. So I've decided to create a more comprehensive list of Independent Prescribers for the practitioners who don't currently prescribe. There's no shame in not being a prescriber. We've all been there! If you want to jump onto our list just click here and complete the form. It's completely FREE! No catch. Nothing! I just want to help the delegates who come through, and if you can provide the service, I'll put your name on the list that I'll distribute to our delegates. If they contact you, then that service is between you and the practitioner. Easy!

BACN Meeting Worcester

Another fabulous meeting with the BACN today. Some key points I took away are:

• The NMC want to attend the next BACN conference (Book the 16th and 17th in your diaries for the BACN Conference)
• How to update your CPD/PREP portfolio to keep your pin numbers up to date. Reflective practice is the way forward. (We will email this out free of charge, just ask.)
• How to choose a good Non Medical (Nurse) Prescribing course. The BACN may compose a database of courses that people have been on. Things to look for are distance learning, does your course allow calculators (you must achieve 100% in the calculations exam to pass)
• The BACN are building a list of willing medical mentors for nurse prescribers

Another good reason to become a member of the BACN.
