The qualification is only accessible to regulated healthcare professionals with a license to prescribe in aesthetics. The exam is only available to:
GMC registered doctors
GDC Registered Dentists
NMC Registered Independent Nurse Prescribers
GPhC Registered Prescribing Pharmacists
The competency assessment requires practitioners to have an advanced skill-set which allows them to function independently.
While a competent practitioner will independently undertake assessment and treatment planning, the prescribed standards require that advanced practitioners are able to assess, manage and safely prescribe medicines in the event that a complication arises.
