It does not qualify or authorise a learner to practise as a veterinary physiotherapist, diagnose conditions, prescribe treatment or provide clinical veterinary services. Veterinary and rehabilitation decisions should be made with appropriately qualified professionals.

Professional Boundaries and Animal Welfare

The course is knowledge-based training only and does not qualify a learner to diagnose, prescribe treatment or independently practise veterinary physiotherapy. RCVS guidance states that remedial treatment by physiotherapy requires delegation by a veterinary surgeon who has examined the animal and prescribed the treatment.

Read the RCVS guidance on treatment of animals by unqualified persons for the current professional framework.
