Injectable training for dental hygienists and therapists.
Eligibility, prescribing and insurance for dental hygienists and therapists, answered plainly, with the courses that fit. Verified against the regulator positions current at July 2026.
Where dental hygienists and therapists stand
Dental hygienists and therapists are GDC-registered, which places you among the statutorily regulated professionals recognised in the JCCP’s framework. That matters twice over: it is the basis insurers underwrite against today, and it is the professional category England’s proposed licensing scheme is being designed around.
Prescribing, practically
Hygienists and therapists cannot prescribe, so a prescriber consults each toxin patient face to face under a documented arrangement. Remote prescribing for cosmetic procedures is banned by every UK regulator, so whatever your arrangement, it is built on in-person consultations.
Insurance
A growing set of insurers covers GDC hygienists and therapists for injectables with evidenced training; confirm in writing before booking. We run this check with you at a free eligibility review before you pay anything, and hand you the current insurer criteria in writing.
What you bring
You bring genuine clinical discipline and perioral familiarity. The build order matters more for you than anyone: insurance confirmation first, prescriber second, course third.
The route
The Foundation Botox & Dermal Filler course is the entry point: online theory, then two supervised clinical days at a published 4:1 ratio with four to six models per delegate. From there, supervised cases, the Advanced course, and the Level 7 Diploma when you want the regulated credential. Prices, deposits and dates are published on every page, and the calendar shows live availability at both centres.
