The AMTRA Veterinary Nurses Qualification is a program designed for qualified Veterinary Nurses to 'add on' to their VN qualification and become an AMTRA SQP who can prescribe VPS medicines for companion animals-termed a C-SQP.

Assessment

The assessment will be in an exam format and will contain a case study with a description of a scenario. There will also be some short answer questions to cover knowledge of other areas of the medicines legislation relevant to SQP's, such as legal aspects of medicine storage.
