Cosmetic Insure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
There is no legal mechanism for non-medics to prescribe these medications in the UK. Alarmingly, we are now seeing a rise in reports of non-prescribing practitioners unlawfully supplying weight loss drugs - often without appropriate clinical oversight, and sometimes through illicit or unregulated sources.
This not only jeopardises patient safety - it also places those practitioners at serious legal, ethical, and professional risk.
The implications are wide-ranging:
– Unregulated supply chains with no quality assurance
– Lack of appropriate patient screening and aftercare
– Insurance policies potentially rendered invalid
– Exposure to enforcement action from regulators and governing bodies
As an insurer dedicated to clinical safety and ethical practice in aesthetics, we strongly urge all practitioners to review their governance processes and stay within their scope of practice.
If you’re unsure about your responsibilities or the insurance implications of weight loss treatments, our team is here to help.
