⚠️ Aesthetic Prescribers – Are You Registered with CAS?
Let’s talk about something that often gets missed… but is essential for safe practice.
If you’re prescribing in aesthetics and not registered with the Central Alerting System (CAS) - you are potentially missing critical safety updates
📩 What is CAS?
CAS is the UK’s official system (linked to MHRA) that sends out:
• Drug safety alerts
• Product recalls
• Medical device warnings
• Urgent patient safety updates
💉 Why It Matters in Aesthetics
As an aesthetic prescriber, you are using:
✔ Prescription-only medicines
✔ Injectables and medical devices
✔ Advanced treatments with clinical risk
👉 You are expected to stay informed - in real time
✅ The Benefits of Being Registered
✔ Immediate alerts on product recalls
✔ Safer prescribing decisions
✔ Protection for your patients
✔ Stronger clinical governance
✔ Supports CQC compliance
✔ Evidence of being a responsible prescriber
🚫 The Risk of NOT Being Registered
If something you use is recalled or flagged…
and you continue using it unknowingly -
That’s not just a clinical risk…
it’s a regulatory and legal risk too.
