About the Course
This course equips learners with knowledge, skill, and competence in the safe handling, storage, and sale of veterinary medicinal products, fully compliant with current legislation and guidelines. Due to new EU and national legislation, Responsible Persons (RPs) must now complete a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) module.
Training covers legislation updates, dispensing via the National Veterinary Prescription System (NVPS), assessment protocols, and use of the Comparables List. The goal is to ensure RPs stay sharp and compliant — all must complete part of this training by 1st December 2025.
