Hi!
There is a place near us very discreet behind the dentist that does it. Lol! I think it depends in what area you are in and what prices you are offering.
I have mine done from my best mate who is mobile,She's a registered nurse. Are you thinking of training to do it yourself or hiring someone to come in say once a week and do a clinic?
That may be they way to go as you have to train, order each prescription per client, store it safely, needle disposal etc. insurance etc. It sounds like a lot of hassle from talking to her lol! However, I've met women who have said they would never dream of having botox, then a week later, they have asked me where I got mine done and asked if I could get a number!
Maybe start asking some of your clients what they think about you possibly offering it?

Hi there,
This is something that I would love to do myself but on making a few enquires (over a year ago now) I was told that you can only do this if you are a registered nurse. Are you nurse or has it changed now and you don't have to be to do this training?

Thanks girls
Im not a registered nurse and I do want to do it myself, so thats maybe something ill have to look into in more depth... No-one does it around my area and I know people that drive up to 200 miles to get theirs done!! Let me know if you find anything else on it

absolutely, definitely need to be qualified nurse or doctor to perform these treatments. Botox if a prescription only medicine so it is illegal for anyone who is not medically qualified to administer. There is a lot of medical history/interpretation which needs to be assessed prior to these treatments - it is a medical procedure and should be treated as such! X

We have a doctor come in and do botox and fillers on a thurs afternoon. She approached us. I'm sure the authorities are about to outlaw nurses from doing it.

I'd rather a nurse inject me. Who do you see doing injections in hospitals? Its certainly not the doctors !!!!!
Botox originally became popular as a treatment offered by Nurses. Its only recently that doctors saw the potential as well.
You'd be surprised if you saw the injection techniques of some doctors (who've probably not injected someone for years) compared to nurse and wouldnt want to go near them !!!!

This is incorrect, what has happened is that the NMC (the governing body for nurses) have said that nurses should not administer botox from a remote prescription. If a nurse does not prescribe then he/she will have to get a doctor or independent prescriber to undertake the consultations and prescribe. This process cannot be done remotely.
The GMC will allow face to face telephone calls but the NMC will not. So nurses will have to either work directly with a doctor or become a prescriber themselves. An independent nurse prescriber can prescribe any medicine in the BNF as long as it is within their competence.

as to regards the NMC and that telephone consultations are not reccomended for botox - whats happening to all of those nurses out there who are not independent prescribers and use services like Mark Harrison from Harley Aesthetics?
Are they to be reported to the NMC?

yes persianista, nurses can still administer botox, they just need to be prescribers or actually work one to one with a doctor. Ashalina, I take it you use mark? NMC are against remote prescribing and they actually say that if the prescription is written remotely i.e. in another location to that of the client then even if an assessment has been made by the doctor it is still a remote prescription!
Voguette, get a recommendation or if someone approaches you make sure you check out their credentials first and make sure you are happy with them.

No, i do not use Mark as I am a GP and have no need for anyone else to sort out botox prescriptions. I am in the process along with several other well known Aestheticians (Drs, Nurse Prescribers and Dentists) in encouraging the voluntary regulation and ensuring that standards are met across the whole country.

Ah right, so you know of Mark because of IHAS? I personally think IHAS is a farce as they are trying to support the public to go to those who are prescribers but they actually contradict themselves when they say only go to these people but then one of the Q & A states something along the lines of "something may not go wrong if you go to someone who is not on the IHAS register". I think the government should have had a backbone and made a law about who can and cannot inject.
Would I register? probably not, I don't think it'll do anything for me except reduce my tax bill by £500. The only good thing is that I am getting more and more people ask me if I am a nurse and congratulate me on being a prescriber.
