| Subject: Rights violation: Nurse suspended for injecting Botox Mon Jun 16, 2014 2:45 am | |
| A nurse who administered Botox and other cosmetic injections to customers at a day spa, without a prescription and without medical supervision, has been found guilty of professional misconduct and had her licence suspended for three months.
The NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal handed down its decision last week, in a move that is likely to ripple through the cosmetic surgery industry.
Under a protocol established in 2005, cosmetic injections such as Botox, which is restricted under Schedule 4 of the Poisons List, and dermal fillers are meant to be supervised by a medical practitioner.
The procedure is often offered by day spas in Sydney and several advertise that a doctor is onsite. However, it is unclear whether unsupervised administration in day spas is common.
The nurse, Rosalie Piper, had worked in cosmetic surgery for 10 years. She worked at a clinic at Epping one day a week and in a day spa at Collaroy.
