Nurse-led cosmetic clinics’ authority to obtain and possess stock of cosmetic medicines

Nurses are trained in the safe storage and usage of S4 drugs. This is demonstrated in several areas of primary healthcare where drugs are managed by RNs. Applying this to the aesthetics industry solely implies restriction on controlling use of cosmetic injectables, rather than promoting safety as previous fact sheets and legislation changes have proposed. We are encouraging clients to receive “dodgy” services elsewhere (including purchasing online) with the proposed changes, as the financial implications will be severe.

An absurd ruling that will detrimentally impact highly professional aesthetic businesses in Queensland. Nurses must be able to exercise their injecting skills without having this beaurocratic oversight.

Seriously restricting and adverse impact on patients and businesses, particularly in regional and rural areas.

Stop regulating and litigating everything.

This is not fair to 1000’s of women who have studied and worked as a professional for years in this industry as registered nurses with the qualifications, studied years to prepare for this career. It was would be discrimination against women and men who have paid endless amounts of funds towards the Queensland Government and community each year in taxes and studies. Creating less entrepreneurs each year, just wrong if you do this.

The nurse led clinic I visit is very professional and telehealth appointments with the doctor is commensurate with other telehealth appointments in other areas. This would severely disadvantage people in regional areas like myself, where just seeking any medical service is difficult.

Jade are the best ❤️

Please let me choose my own nurse led clinic services. I trust my professional clinic and the care I receive.

No in agreement - our nurses are well trained

Nurses study and train for many years to become skilled and qualified healthcare professionals. They are highly capable and provide excellent services which would otherwise simply not be accessible to populations in regional and remote areas. This new interpretation of the legislation does not provide any evidence of substantive improvements to patient safety and runs contrary to the public's expectations of governmental regulatory practices.

Please don’t change the current set-up for injectable clinics.

This will truely affect so many businesses lead by RN’s who are vigilant in their practice and maintaining education.

These changes are disgusting. Wake up & stop targeting the Cosmedic industry. I’m sure this is due to surgeons complaining they’re not getting as rich as they’d like

Instead of making things more difficult for perfectly well run establishments run by professional, fully qualified nurses, it would behove Queensland Health to support rather than hinder these small businesses.

Stop

We need to support our clinicians and stop trying to make it difficult and unreasonable for us as clients.
