Entry requirements and insurance
IV therapy involves cannulation and prescription-only medicines, so suitability depends on your background and prescribing arrangements. Tell us your qualifications and experience when you enquire and we will confirm before you book.
Insurance
Before you book, please check with an insurer that you will be able to get insurance for this treatment once you have completed the course. Insurers set their own requirements, and we cannot guarantee that an insurer will cover you.
Many insurers require at least six months' needle experience before they will insure injectable treatments. If you are new to injecting, please check this with your insurer first.
After your training
IV therapy sits alongside vitamin injections in a wellness menu. Tell us what you already offer and we will suggest what to add next.
Support does not stop when the day ends. You can contact the team with questions as you start treating clients, and we can point you towards suppliers and insurers when you are ready.
