Prescriptions and the face-to-face rule

Some treatments need a prescription before product can be supplied. AesthetiClinic handles the request, approval and supply of prescriptions, within the rules.

The prescription flow

A prescription moves through clear stages:

1. Requested. A practitioner requests a prescription for a patient.
2. Approved. A qualified prescriber reviews and approves it. Only team members marked as prescribers can do this.
3. Sent. Once approved, the prescription is sent on for supply.

Each stage is recorded, so there is a full trail of who requested, who approved, and when.

The face-to-face rule

For injectable treatments, the prescriber must assess the patient face to face before prescribing. This is a professional and regulatory requirement, not merely a preference, and it exists to protect patients.

Why we do not offer remote signing

Some tools let a prescriber approve injectable prescriptions remotely, without seeing the patient. We deliberately do not offer that. Building a slick remote-signing flow would encourage practice that falls short of the face-to-face standard. We would rather support you in doing it properly than make it easy to cut a corner that puts patients, and your registration, at risk.
