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!

NMC code of conduct

Practitioners are still unsure about their aesthetic practice. Brush up on your NMC code of conduct and and some time to your PREP file.

Access to Nurse Prescribing

During the BACN the nurse prescribing was an issue that was discussed in a positive light. Andrew McKewan kindly praised aesthetic nurses at being brilliant entrepreneurs. He discussed the issue that independent nurse prescribing for the V300 course, can be found at reasonable value and needn't be expensive.

Universities are offering nurses prescribing ranging from £500- £2000, an article in the Cosmetic News Magazine revealed a website with a summary of various universities offering the course and their prices. (Thanks to Marion Brown for finding it for us.) There is of course another unique avenue to take, which is via Intraderm at £3,900. This is fantastic for practitioners who need additional support from within the aesthetic industry and who can't find themselves a doctor for a mentor. Intraderm also offer additional teaching days and additional teaching hours after the University's teaching hours.
