“In light of additional pressures on practices caused by high levels of Covid-19 infection, stricter rules on isolation and the threat of the Omicron variant, the Standards Committee of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons yesterday decided to reintroduce the temporary dispensation allowing remote prescribing with immediate effect.
“The dispensation was originally introduced during the spring 2020 lockdown to safeguard animal health and welfare, the health and safety of the veterinary team, and public health, by allowing prescriptions to be made by veterinary surgeons without having first physically examined the animal, subject to conditions and safeguards.”
