Abstract
ABSTRACT: A suitably qualified person (SQP) is someone who has undergone training to advise and prescribe on certain types of veterinary medicines under the Veterinary Medicine Regulations 2013. This has many uses in businesses such as pet shops and veterinary practices to allow non veterinary surgeons to prescribe selected products. In veterinary practice is it is often the case that nurses become SQP’s to allow them to prescribe in clinics, which takes pressure off the veterinary surgeons. This has many benefits, but also limitations. This article discusses how to become an SQP and whether or not the qualification is worthwhile to veterinary nurses in practice.
