In the Guide to Professional Conduct, it says (Part 2, d par 5):

When employing Veterinary Nurses to undertake Schedule 3 procedures, it should be confirmed that their names are currently on the List of Veterinary Nurses maintained by the RCVS. As provided in Schedule 3 of the Veterinary Surgeons Act and the RCVS Guide to Professional Conduct for Veterinary Nurses, a 'veterinary nurse' means a person whose name is entered in the List of Veterinary Nurses, maintained by the RCVS.

This is reiterated in the Practice Standards Manual – see section 1.1, guidance notes.
