Summary of the RCVS Under Care Guidance on prescribing POM-Vs

RCVS Under Care Guidance on prescribing POM-Vs has now changed, so we've produced a summary to help our members navigate the changes.

We've split the recommendations into an easy-to-understand format, however, it should only be used as a quick reference guide and we'd encourage all vets to familiarise themselves with the new RCVS Under Care Guidance, as well as the related RCVS FAQs and updates, which may be subject to change.

The new Guidance can be found at: www.rcvs.org.uk/undercare/

This summary should also be read in conjunction with other applicable RCVS Guidance, particularly around matters such as mutual clients, medicines and controlled drugs.

All summary copy is replicated from the RCVS Under Care Guidance and was correct on the date of publication: 14 September 2023.
