As you know, this is my first post since last October and in response to those who have been asking “What have you been doing?”, please read on.
Over the last five years I have worked with some great clients and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed giving what I hope to be is a great service. As customer satisfaction is top of my list for Becky Hollands Aesthetics, I wanted to do something big for my clients that would really enhance the service.
So in August, I began the ‘Non Medical Nurse’s Prescribers Course’.
After searching high and low across the country, I found the University of Gloucestershire ran this course and I enrolled soon after my interview. I thought travelling further a field and staying near the University would allow me to concentrate on the course and it would give me a better understanding of the subject.
The non-medical prescriber’s course consisted of two key elements.
First to develop the knowledge, skills and competency required to be able to prescribe safely, appropriately and cost-effectively as both an Independent and Supplementary Non-Medical Prescriber. Second, to attain the requirements of the Nursing & Midwifery Council to enable registration as a Non-Medical Prescriber develop the professional critiquing and decision-making skills commensurate with this high level of preparation and study.
I completed the course in March after what I can best describe as a challenging six months!
So what has changed for my clients?
If you want me to put it bluntly, we’ve removed the ‘middle-man’. The new non-medical prescriber status allows me to consult, asses, prescribe then administer the treatment without having to refer to a Doctor.
Acquiring and delivering these new techniques means more convenience for my clients and more importantly, it allows for a far more personalised service. I can now (results pending) prescribe directly for my clients.
Thanks to all those who supported me during these last six months. It means a great deal to have your support and backing for myself and a service that I am committed to improving over the coming years. Looking forward to speaking with you soon.
I’m still waiting on the final results but I will let you know as soon as they come in.
