RQPs are composed of which professionals?

• A. Veterinary nurses and assistants
• B. Pharmacists and veterinarians
• C. Veterinarians, SQPs and Pharmacists
• D. Veterinary technicians

Answer: (C)

RQPs, or Responsible Qualified Persons, are the individuals who take on the legal responsibility for ensuring that veterinary medicines supplied from a site meet quality and regulatory standards. The groups that can act as an RQP include veterinarians, pharmacists, and Suitably Qualified Persons (SQPs). Each brings essential expertise: veterinarians provide clinical oversight and animal health knowledge; pharmacists contribute pharmaceutical handling, storage, labeling, and dispensing expertise; SQPs are trained professionals who meet regulatory requirements to supervise veterinary medicine supply at retail or dispensing sites. By combining these roles, a site can ensure proper quality control, compliance, and safe distribution of medicines. That’s why the best answer includes veterinarians, SQPs, and pharmacists.
