In these bonus episodes called 'Industry Updates', we'll bring you up to speed with news of important and pressing issues. These episodes are published ad hoc and don't replace our usual Friday podcasts!

Chapter 1 of our Industry Updates was impromptu recording with Dr. John Holbrook and Dr. John Delaney from Fresh Clinics. Being the biggest compliance and scripting company in Australia, we quickly arranged this talk to discuss the impact of the Queensland Health fact sheet. This has sent shockwaves across the state and the wider injecting community around Australia.

The document was released by Queensland Health in December and it highlights a number of regulations including the purchasing and storage requirements for Schedule 4 medications and the necessity for having doctors physically on-site in nurse-owned clinics.

Our guests share insights from their own conversation with the regulators, their webinar feedback with their nurse customers and the broader implications for Australian cosmetic clinics. Our guests conclude by emphasizing the importance of patient safety, legal compliance and the practical realities for many nurse-led clinics.
