“Healthcare professionals must never compromise on the safeguards required when supplying prescription-only medicines such as Botox. These medicines must only be prescribed following a thorough, in-person clinical assessment to ensure the treatment is appropriate and safe.”
What Prof Claire Anderson has said
“Pharmacists working in community pharmacies and GP practices provide clinical advice, treatment for common conditions and expert support with medicines as part of the wider primary care team. An integrated approach where patients are supported by the right professional at the right time is key to improving timely access to care.”
