Who is this course for?

The event is suited to persons who are seeking to become a WQP, existing WQPs wishing to refresh their understanding, and for businesses looking to become wholesale dealers of veterinary medicines.

The November event is an incredibly popular training course, and part of a series of training courses specially designed with industry needs in mind. Ali Pitfield, Head of the VMD Training Centre Team, said;

“Our training events offer a unique opportunity for industry professionals and those in the veterinary sector to engage directly with our experts, and receive immediate answers to their questions. It’s fantastic to hear the training is valued by attendees.”
