The V300 course can be undertaken at many universities around the U.K. However some universities are reluctant to enrol self funding nurses due to a lack of suitable clinical support mechanisms being in place to help the nurse during the course. The staff at Intraderm @ The Ashleigh Clinic are sympathetic to the needs of the aesthetic nurse. They have teamed up with De Montfort University Leicester to offer the V300 course complete with aesthetic support. The aim is to compliment the V300 prescribing course with information that addresses prescribing issues that will face the newly qualified prescribing aesthetic nurse and to take on the role of support manager for those who are self funding and self employed.

 

                                                           

The normal basic V300 course material is taught by staff from the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences Department at De Montfort University. Staff from Intraderm @ The Ashleigh Clinic provide lectures and support on clinical matters pertinent to the aesthetic nurse prescriber. We organise these lectures to form part of the mandatory logged time that needs to be spent with a prescriber. This means that a reduced number of hours are then required to be spent with a doctor mentor. This convenience makes the course very suitable for the busy aesthetic practitioner.

 

Many nurses find that studying with other aesthetic nurses is a huge bonus and a wonderful support to them. It is a challenging course and to be surrounded by nurses from your own speciality during this time can be very reassuring.

 

We encourage potential delegates to look at all options open to them regarding studying for the V300 qualification. If the convenience of having over half of your mandatory logged time planned for you and the comfort of being with other aesthetic practitioners whilst studying for this qualification appeals to you then this course based at De Montfort University Leicester could be for you.

 

Alternatively you may wish to apply to a university local to where you live but still access  aesthetic support from us as this subject is not normally covered at universities elsewhere. If this option the  V300  Aesthetic Support and Advice Package (ASAP) interests you then please click on the information button below, just under the picture of The Ashleigh Clinic.

The NMC set the standards for the training of nurse prescribers in the U.K.. There are no special courses which will allow a nurse to learn to prescribe botulinum toxins only. If a nurse wishes to prescribe botulinum toxins independently, the only way forward at present is to do a registered V300 course at a university. It is a recordable qualification and is added to your NMC registration. Any prescribing course that is not registered with the NMC will not qualify you to be an independent or supplementary prescriber.   If you are a nurse that wishes to do a plain V300 course at De Montfort University without the built in aesthetic support we suggest that you liaise directly with the Non Medical Prescribing Lead at De Montfort University on 0116 201 3861.   If you wish to do a plain V300 course at De Montfort university and then do the  V300 Aesthetic Support and Advice Package (V300 ASAP) on a one to one basis with us then please contact De Montfort University as above for the V300 and contact us at Intraderm @ The Ashleigh Clinic for the Aesthetic Support Package on 0116 2416898     We hope that the different options help you to access a course that meets all your requirements. If you need to discuss your options we are always happy to help.

This course is for registered nurses who meet the university entry criteria. It may be particularly suitable for nurses working in the private sector who have found it difficult to access a prescribing course due to the following:

• Difficulty finding a doctor mentor to provide compulsory clinical support.
• Time issues – full time courses do not allow for work and family committments
• Funding issues - expensive if self-funding
