FAQ’s
Common Questions
What is the role of a Designated Prescribing Practitioner (DPP)?
A Designated Prescribing Practitioner provides structured supervision and clinical support while you complete your V300 Non-Medical Prescribing qualification. The DPP oversees your supervised practice hours, supports competency development, and ensures you are meeting the professional, legal, and clinical standards required to qualify as a safe and accountable Independent Prescriber.
How many supervised hours are required?
Most university V300 programmes require 90 hours of supervised practice. This mentorship is structured to meet those requirements, ensuring your clinical exposure, competency development, and documentation align fully with your university’s prescribing framework and professional standards.
Is this suitable for newly qualified aesthetic nurses?
No. This pathway is designed for experienced aesthetic nurses with a minimum of 12 months’ hands-on clinical experience. Prescribing in aesthetics requires strong foundational knowledge, confidence in patient assessment, and existing clinical competence.
Will I be prescribing independently during this mentorship?
You will not prescribe independently until qualified. During the mentorship, you will develop prescribing skills under structured supervision, applying theory to real patient scenarios and strengthening your clinical reasoning within a supported environment.
How is competency assessed?
Competency is assessed through ongoing formative feedback, reflective discussion, and documented evidence aligned with your university’s prescribing framework. The aim is not simply to complete hours, but to ensure you are clinically confident, accountable, and safe before qualification.
