Aesthetics & Skin by Sharon Somerville

I have been busy (and stressed) behind the scenes 🤓🫠
I hadn't planned on going back to university just now. Between family life, being a Midwife and running a business, it wasn't something | was looking to take on. However, with the changes to aesthetic regulations, it became a necessity.

To ensure the highest standards of patient safety, provide the best possible convenience for my clients, meet all legal and ethical requirements, and continue to grow my clinic, it was a step I had to take (despite the massive £4,000 cost e
After one of the most challenging and intensive courses I have ever completed, I am incredibly happy to say that I have officially qualified as an Independent Prescriber.

This means I can now prescribe the medications my clients require directly within the clinic, allowing me to offer an even safer, more streamlined, and comprehensive service. (This includes Botox. Many people are not aware that you need a prescription for this product)

I am absolutely over the moon and excited for what this means for my clients and the future of my business. 📝 💉 🤍

✔️We are all independent prescribers (we have spent months at university for this qualification) This means we can order prescription items such as Botox, antibiotics, filler dissolving medications, adrenaline etc. During an emergency, being an independent prescriber is vital.

How to check if the clinic you are going to for aesthetic treatments is regulated by Healthcare Improvement Scotland 💜💙 (HIS)

FACE TO FACE PRESCRIBING

In clinic, we follow the law.

If a treatment requires a prescriber, you must be seen face to face by that prescriber before treatment takes place.

This isn't optional.
It isn't a preference.
It's a legal requirement.

In Scotland, legislation is becoming even stricter under the new bill meaning face to face prescribing requirements are being reinforced.
If you are receiving prescription only treatment without seeing the prescriber in person beforehand, the law is being broken.

We will always:
• See you in person
• Ensure a compliant prescription
• Work within current legislation

No shortcuts. No grey areas. Just lawful practice. 🤍
