Edit Who should be administering Botox

<p>There are also heated debates going on amongst nurses as to whether non-nurse prescribers should be involved in injectable cosmetics, with the NMC certainly not being supportive of non-independent nurse prescribers using prescription cosmetic injectables.</p> <p>However, in recent years the debate has, in my opinion, entered an entirely different level with some beauty therapists now trying to validate their claims to the use of prescription medicine (botulinum toxin) and dermal fillers for cosmetic rejuvenation.</p> <p>Where training courses have been offered to beauty therapists and other non-medically qualified people, and although <strong>NOT ONE</strong> of the major suppliers and manufacturers of these products support the use of their products by non-medically qualified practitioners, it appears that they are either powerless in stopping the supply of their brands to these people (available through various routes), or they just don’t care where their product ends up, as long as someone pays for it!; (which I hope isn’t true!)</p> <p><strong><em>So, you may wonder, if NOT ONE of the manufacturers, suppliers or distributors in the UK PUBLICLY SUPPORT the use of their products by ANY non-medically qualified person, why are beauty therapists so vociferous in persisting with their case for use of these products?</em></strong></p>
