In the UK, only GDC registered dentists can buy the whitening treatment from us (or any professional teeth whitening brand for that matter) and provide to their patients. Dental hygienists are only able to supply the treatment to patients in a dental practice if it has been prescribed by a dentist first.

Are beauticians, facial aesthetics practitioners and dental nurses able to train and provide this outside of a dental clinic?

No, unfortunately beauticians, facial aesthetics practitioners and dental nurses are not able to provide this treatment on the premises of a laser or beauty clinic unless there is a GDC registered dentist who is able to legally examine and prescribe the treatment before it is applied.
