Regulation in Scotland
Registration follows the professional, not the procedure. Understand that one sentence and the whole Scottish picture makes sense.
Who can prescribe
A short chapter of law with long consequences: a named prescriber, a face to face assessment, and a prescription written for you specifically.
When a non medic injects
Not an argument that non medical injectors are dangerous. An account of which safety nets exist in each case, so you can decide with the facts.
Scotland and England
A guide to reading UK cosmetic coverage from Scotland, where roughly half of what is written does not apply to you.
Insurance and indemnity
The single question most patients ask, asked badly. Here is the version that produces a useful answer.
Check a registration
Everything you need is public and free. The only barrier is knowing which register covers which profession.
This article contains no affiliate links, no sponsored placements and no links to any clinic, practitioner, brand or retailer. Nobody paid for it and nobody previewed it. We name no clinic in Glasgow because we have assessed none, and a publication that has not assessed a business has nothing useful to say about whether it is good.
Two archive pages on this site carry a single disclosed editorial link each, and both are labelled on the page itself. This is not one of them. The whole arrangement is set out in our editorial standards.
Nothing here is medical advice. Speak to a qualified clinician about your own case.
The monthly briefing
One email a month. What changed in Scottish regulation, what a treatment turned out not to do, and which claims are worth a second look.
One email a month at most. It carries a single clearly labelled sponsor line, which never influences what we write. No clinic buys a mention in the editorial part of it. Unsubscribe in one click.
