Injectable training for operating department practitioners.
Eligibility, prescribing and insurance for operating department practitioners, answered plainly, with the courses that fit. Verified against the regulator positions current at July 2026.
Where operating department practitioners stand
Operating department practitioners are HCPC-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
ODPs cannot prescribe, so a documented prescriber arrangement with face-to-face consultation is part of the setup. Remote prescribing for cosmetic procedures is banned by every UK regulator, so whatever your arrangement, it is built on in-person consultations.
Insurance
Specialist insurers assess ODPs case by case; get named confirmation 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
Sterile-field discipline and calm under pressure transfer beautifully. ODP delegates are consistently the tidiest injectors in the room.
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.
