Allow Non Medics to Practice Aesthetics

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Non medics should not need a medic to be present when practicing. Non medics are trained just as much as medics and should not be scrutinised because they are not from a medical background. Medics are not even taught facial anatomy in their job; this is learnt when training in aesthetics.

By forcing non medics to have a medic present when practicing, you are practically forcing them out of work. How are non medics supposed to pay someone to be present through treatment?
Allowing only medics to practice does not eradicate bad practice as there is good in bad in all. Some non medics have better work than medics! Vice versa. It is extremely biased and discriminatory to assume medics are better than non medics purely because of a title. Implementing this regulation is unjust.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about requirements for medics to be present during the administration of aesthetic procedures, but this isn't currently a requirement.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
