Professional Veterinary Dispensing Service

The Board has developed a Checklist to assist the profession when supplying/prescribing medications to clients.  The Checklist is titled 'Professional Veterinary Dispensing Service', and was first presented at the Rural Vets Meeting in 2008.  Following comments from the wider profession, it was distributed to all practising vets in July 2008.
