At
its June 2015 meeting, Council approved a revised draft Professional Practice Standard on Delegation for circulation
and consultation. The new draft Professional
Practice Standard: Delegation will replace the previous position statements of the College regarding supervision
and delegation – “Delegating to Auxiliaries in Companion Animal Practice,” “Delegating
to Auxiliaries in Food Animal & Equine Practice,” and “General Principles of
Delegation.”
The new draft Professional
Practice Standard: Delegation recognizes the team-based approach which is being increasingly adopted in
veterinary medicine. The Standard sets out the practise expectations for all veterinarians who supervise and
delegate to members of the veterinary team who are not veterinarians, and sets out the circumstances and
conditions under which delegation is appropriate.
