Please note due to UK Pharmaceutical supply guidelines governed by MHRA, before we are able to sell certain “pharmacy sale only” products to practitioners we must verify that they are qualified to purchase them. These checks include, noting HCPC Number for Chiropodists and Podiatrists or a scanned copy of the Qualification Certificate from Foot Health Training Schools.

FAQ – Pharmaceutical Sales Of Restricted ‘P’ Products

1. Why are certain products now restricted, I’ve bought them for several years and was trained in their use as part of my training.
2. The MHRA rules have not changed. For many years practitioners who have undergone training have been allowed to dispense certain products that are predominantly foot health related, their role was similar to that of a qualified pharmacist. With a vast increase in online supplies of pharmaceuticals MHRA guidelines are now much stricter when it comes to checking the actual purchaser of the products.

1. I’m HCPC Registered – Can I buy as before?
2. You can buy the same items as previously, but we do need a copy of your HCPC registration number on file, this can then be checked independently by MHRA should their inspector request it.

1. I’m a Foot Health Practitioner Trained With Certain Restricted Products – How do I prove my qualifications?
2. If you are registered on the Foot Health Practitioner Register, then we require your registration number similar to HCPC above. For non registered practitioners we require a scanned copy of your qualification certificate from your training school.

1.  Does this now allow me to buy POM medicines/Anaesthetic?
2. No – The only practitioners allowed to purchase Anaesthetic for Nail Surgery use are those who have the correct certificates of additional training in prescription only medicines or  anaesthetic use and nail matrixectomy.
