Frequently asked questions

Is this legal advice?
No. It is a practical guide to help you understand common compliance requirements. Always confirm current rules with your insurer, awarding body, council, and prescribing partner.
Does every section apply to me?
Not always. Non-injectable therapists may focus on insurance, consent, and premises first. Injectable practitioners should work through every section.
Does this cover licensing changes?
It explains the current landscape and how to stay up to date, but you should verify local licensing requirements with your council.
