It is not mandatory for a QPPV to be a Veterinarian (Animal Doctor).
The QPPV should be appropriately qualified, with documented experience in all aspects of pharmacovigilance in order to fulfil the responsibilities and tasks of the post.
If the QPPV is not a veterinarian, access to a person qualified in veterinary medicine should be available.
