Petition

face-to-face consultations for aesthetics prescribing (POMs) in the UK.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

1, Allow remote prescribing for Level 7 qualified practitioners via secure, verifiable systems.

2, PIN registration for level 7, aesthetics practitioners, to track and authorise prescriptions safely.

3, Introduce a Level 8 Prescribing Pathway for experienced aesthetics professionals only.
The government backed Level 7 training for years—we invested, trained, and complied. Now the rules have changed overnight. This isn’t just unfair, it’s devastating. It threatens businesses and drives safe, qualified professionals out, pushing clients toward unsafe, underground providers. We don’t want to prescribe heart meds—just continue working legally and safely in aesthetics. This law risks harming the very people it claims to protect. Help us fight for fair, safe regulation.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Decisions about this are a matter for the Nursing and Midwifery Council, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: Do not ban level 7 qualified non-medical aesthetic practitioners from practising
