Unfortunately, RVN&#39;s do not qualify as SQP&#39;s which causes many a debate at my practise!</p> <p>You can pay to do this additional course but sometimes (depending on your work place) your surgery may be willing to pay for you to do it. We currently have 2 of our staff members on this course.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
