Prescriber Service
PrivaDr’s prescriber service provides independent patient assessment, prescribing decisions and clinical oversight for aesthetics practitioners and GP practices. It is for qualified professionals who need an appropriately trained prescriber; it is not a prescription-on-request service, and every medicine must be justified by an individual clinical assessment.

Prescribing Support for Harley Street, Marylebone and London Practices
This service is intended for aesthetics practitioners and GP practices that need access to an appropriately qualified prescriber and a clear clinical process. It is not a prescription-on-request service. Every decision must follow an individual patient assessment, be clinically justified and remain within the prescriber’s professional competence.
PrivaDr’s prescriber service starts from £50. Because the work required can vary by patient, treatment and practice arrangement, the exact fee and scope should be confirmed before an appointment. The starting price should not be understood as covering medicines, treatment administration or ongoing complication management unless these are explicitly agreed.
For Aesthetics Practitioners
A face-to-face medical assessment supports safe decisions where a proposed aesthetic treatment involves a prescription-only medicine. The prescriber considers medical history, allergies, current medicines, previous procedures, contraindications and the patient’s expectations. A prescription is provided only when the proposed treatment is appropriate.
For General Practice
GP prescribing support can help practices that require additional clinical capacity or oversight. The same principles apply: adequate assessment, evidence-based decision-making, informed consent, accurate documentation and a safe plan for review. Responsibility is not transferred simply because another practitioner will administer or monitor treatment.
How the Prescriber Service Works
1. Practice Enquiry
Tell us about your setting, practitioner role, intended treatments and the support required. This helps establish whether the request is within scope before patient appointments are arranged.
2. Patient Assessment
The prescriber meets the patient, reviews relevant history, discusses benefits and risks, and assesses suitability. Prescribing is never guaranteed in advance.
3. Records and Follow-Up
The clinical decision, medicine details and agreed responsibilities are documented. The treatment pathway should also identify who provides aftercare and how concerns or adverse effects will be escalated.
Safe Partnership and Clinical Boundaries
Good prescribing depends on cooperation between the prescriber and treating practitioner. Practitioners must work within their competence, hold appropriate insurance, maintain suitable records and follow the written treatment plan. The prescriber needs enough information to make an independent decision and may decline, defer or request further information when this is safer.
Our Harley Street location is convenient for practices in Marylebone and across central London. Availability is arranged according to clinical and practice requirements; contact the team to discuss the number of patients, proposed treatments and preferred schedule.
What Practices Should Prepare
Before requesting prescribing support, a practice should be ready to explain its governance arrangements, the qualifications and competence of the treating practitioners, the treatments offered and how medicines are stored, administered and recorded. Relevant patient information must be available to the prescriber in a form that supports a safe, independent assessment.
For each patient, useful information includes current medicines, allergies, previous treatments, relevant medical history and the reason for the proposed procedure. The consultation should allow enough time for questions and voluntary, informed consent. Commercial pressure or a pre-booked treatment must never determine whether a prescription is issued.
NICE guidance on communicating risks, benefits and treatment choices
Practices also need a clear route for follow-up. Patients should know whom to contact after treatment, how complications will be assessed and when urgent or emergency services are appropriate. These arrangements protect patients while giving both the prescriber and administering practitioner a shared understanding of their responsibilities.
More Than a Signature
A professional prescriber service is a clinical relationship, not an administrative transaction. The prescriber remains accountable for the decision to prescribe and must be satisfied that the medicine, dose and planned treatment are appropriate for the individual patient. A request can be declined even when a patient has received the same treatment before.
PrivaDr can discuss support for individual sessions or an ongoing practice requirement, but the arrangement must preserve clinical independence. Contact the team for a scope and fee discussion; services start from £50, with the final charge confirmed according to the work required.
