https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/28110/dispensing-medication I know this varies a lot between practices but does anyone know if it&#39;s actually a legal requirement to put initials on drug labels when dispensing them? It&#39;s something that was drilled in to me as a student and I had to get all drugs double checkeden-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/158226?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 05 Feb 2015 10:12:26 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:a275eb42-fde4-492f-89af-e344e515ad4dMark Hedberg<p>Either initials or a recognizable signature was what we used in my old practice. It&#39;s good practice; helps keep track of the chain of events.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/158221?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 04 Feb 2015 21:55:58 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:bccfdb90-2083-4f81-8cb8-d60fc01be753Jenny Cook RVN<p>not a legal requirement but good practice to ensure it is double checked and avoid mistakes. We have to have the person who put meds in box/pot initial and also a vet to check and initial before it leaves the practice.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/158178?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 03 Feb 2015 16:07:59 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:4585f1e2-792a-46bc-80a9-72a6db70519eFINNIGAN<p>Don&#39;t think its a legal requirement just good practice, we did it for a while but seems to always end up not being initialed!!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
