Clinical Safety

Medical Oversight — Non-Negotiable

At Obsidian Institute of Aesthetics, all injectable and advanced aesthetics training is supervised by our qualified Nurse Prescriber. This is not a box-ticking exercise — it is integral to the clinical rigour of every course we deliver.

All prescription-only medicines used in injectable training are handled in full compliance with Scottish medicines legislation. Prescribing oversight is built into the course structure from day one, and students learn to operate within the correct clinical governance framework as a core competency — not an afterthought.

Patient safety is drilled throughout every course. From client consultation and contraindication assessment to complication recognition and emergency protocols, our graduates leave with the clinical judgment to practise safely and the confidence to know when to refer.

  • All injectable courses supervised by our qualified Nurse Prescriber
  • Prescribing handled in compliance with Scottish medicines legislation
  • Complication management and emergency protocols covered on every injectable course
  • Client consultation and contraindication assessment taught as core competencies
  • Small class sizes — intensive, supervised practical sessions

Entry Requirements

Prerequisites & Course Entry

Our advanced aesthetics courses are designed for practitioners who are ready for clinical injectable training. Entry requirements vary by course — our team will advise on the correct starting point for your background during your initial consultation.

  1. Clinical or Relevant Aesthetic Background

    Most advanced injectable courses are appropriate for practitioners with a medical or clinical background (nursing, paramedicine, dentistry, medicine) or those who already hold a relevant aesthetic qualification. Foundation injectable modules do not require prior aesthetics study — full theory is covered on course.

  2. Course Consultation to Assess Suitability

    Before enrolling on any advanced aesthetics course, we conduct a short consultation to understand your current experience level, professional background, and training goals. This ensures you are placed on the most appropriate course for where you are right now.

  3. Valid Insurance Before Starting

    All students must hold valid professional indemnity insurance before attending any advanced aesthetics training. We can advise on appropriate insurance providers if needed.

  4. Full Theory Covered On-Course

    No prior study of aesthetics theory is required before attending a foundation injectable module. All relevant anatomy, pharmacology, and clinical protocols are taught as part of the course curriculum, ensuring every student starts from a consistent, verified baseline of knowledge.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Our advanced injectable courses are open to practitioners with a medical or clinical background (nurses, paramedics, dentists, doctors) as well as aesthetic practitioners with a relevant existing qualification. We conduct a short pre-enrolment consultation for all advanced courses to ensure we place each student on the most appropriate programme for their experience level. Contact us to discuss your background and we will advise on the right entry point.
Medical oversight means that our qualified Nurse Prescriber is present and active throughout all injectable training sessions. They oversee practical work on live models, handle any prescribing requirements, and ensure clinical governance standards are maintained throughout the course. It is not a nominal supervision arrangement — our Nurse Prescriber is an integral part of the training team.
Unless you are an independent prescriber yourself, you will need a prescribing arrangement in place to administer prescription-only medicines (including botulinum toxin) after qualifying. This is a regulatory requirement — not specific to Obsidian training. We cover prescribing requirements in full on course and can advise on how to establish a compliant prescribing relationship for your practice.
Advanced aesthetics courses at Obsidian typically run over one or two full days per modality, with pre-course study materials provided in advance. Some multi-modality programmes are available over a structured period of several days. Enquire with your specific modalities of interest and we will confirm the schedule and format for each.
