Thanks for that, I think that has answered it for me- I was interested in what 'minor surgery' precicely entailed in this context.

Cool!

Thanks for that!

I guess there's not actually a list of things that may fall under the remit of stating what registered nurses/ student nurses under supervision could potentially be allowed to do?

Nope that would just be too easy :P

We have been given a list at work though because I asked for it to be clarified as we have a nursing assistant and didn't want to encourage her to do things she shouldn't.

Our list says:

Giving medication eg. injections (although owners are allowed to do them for their own animals)
Placing cannulas
Taking blood
Scaling and polishing teeth
Minor surgery which doesn't enter a body cavity (eg. tail and toe amputation, lump removals and stitch ups)

Does higher nursing mean things like lump removal, tail amputation and stitch ups? These all fall under schedule 3.
