We propose that any procedure that requires a prescription-only medicine (POM) must, at the very least, be overseen by a qualified and regulated healthcare professional. This includes any procedure that uses a POM directly, for example, injectable toxins; and/or any adjunctive procedure that uses a POM alongside the primary procedure to assist or complement it, for example, lidocaine for anaesthetic purposes, or hyaluronidase for managing complications of medical devices such as dermal fillers.

Below we have set out the proposed classification for the types of procedures that we expect to be included. Please note that the procedures listed are indicative of the types of procedures that will be included in the licensing scheme - they are not a final or complete list and may change based on the outcome of this consultation.
