ordering of prescription drugs

Hello,
I’m after some guidance on the ordering of prescription drugs...
My company has been ordering prescription drugs from a UK supplier, this has be done using the company nurse who had a POM authorisation form signed off from a third party Doctor.
I want to know what is the minimum qualification that is required for some to become a POM?
Thanks in advance.

You are referring to a Patient Group Direction I believe. It is a written direction relating to the supply and administration of a prescription only medicine (POM), to a patient and is signed by a doctor/dentist or pharmacist.

Correct me if im wrong, you want to be able to supply and administer POM's to patients?
