Following on from the success of the VMD’s Introduction to Veterinary
Wholesale Qualified Person training day the VMD is
continuing to expand its training portfolio to help support its
stakeholders.
The VMD is planning to run a Veterinary Dispensary Manager
training course in May 2022. The course will provide an overview
of running the practice dispensary effectively, working within
the confines of the legislative requirements for retail supply of
veterinary medicines.
The training will be provided in a blended learning format of
talks and workshops to give working examples and real-life
applications of the learning received.
It will cover topics such as:
- Effective management of the veterinary dispensary
- Sourcing veterinary medicines
- Correct storage & labelling
- Prescribing, supplying & dispensing
- Safe handling of veterinary medicines
- How to store & record Controlled Drugs
- Monitoring the use of veterinary medicines
- How to reduce dispensing errors
- Identifying common insufficiencies within dispensary
inspections
- Veterinary Medicine Regulation Sector updates
A VMD certificate of attendance will be provided on completion of
the course.
The cost of the training is £395. For more information and to
purchase a place on the course, please visit the Eventbrite
booking page.
The VMD’s Training Team are planning a series of training
courses; if you are interested in attending a future event, or
