Gemma is a registered nurse and nurse prescriber. Here is what that actually means for you when you sit in the chair.
Anyone can complete a weekend course and start injecting. These are the practical differences when the person treating you trained in medicine first.
Medication, conditions, allergies and previous treatments are reviewed before anything is decided. Not a form you sign, a conversation that changes what is recommended.
If a treatment will not achieve what you want, or is not right for you, you will hear that plainly. A clinical judgement is worth more than a sale.
Complications are rare, but they need someone who recognises them early and can prescribe. Gemma assesses, prescribes and treats you herself.
In parts of this industry a prescriber signs off treatments for someone they have never seen. That does not happen here.
“I’ve always loved being a nurse. My background in acute medical nursing gave me the clinical knowledge and the ability to stay calm under pressure. Aesthetics was another way of helping people, and after qualifying as a nurse who can prescribe I knew it was the right path.”Gemma Coteman · Registered nurse and prescriber
Appointments are held inside a friendly salon a short drive from Cambridge, with free parking directly outside and no city centre traffic to sit in.
