I'm so proud to be a qualified Independent Nurse Prescriber. 😊

The MHRA has once again highlighted the importance of patient/client safety when it comes to injectable aesthetic treatments.
If you are having prescription-only wrinkle reduction treatment, you must be assessed by a qualified independent prescriber in a face-to-face consultation before any treatment takes place. This is a legal and essential safety requirement.
🚨 If you are being offered treatment without seeing a prescriber, or you're told "it's all done online" or "the practitioner can prescribe themselves" when they are not legally able to, do not be talked into believing it's acceptable. There is a significant risk that the product being used is not a legitimate UK-sourced prescription medicine.
Patient/Client safety must always come before profit.
