New veterinary resource launches
Latest journal benefits the whole practice team

The launch of a new journal - Veterinary Practice Today - this Autumn will provide a resource for the whole practice team, including vets, vet nurses and practice managers.

Veterinary Practice Today will be brought to the profession each quarter by Vision Media, publishers of management journal Veterinary Management for Today (VMFT) for the past decade, as well as MRCVSonline and vnonline.

After 10 years of publishing VMFT, Vision Media are pleased to be relaunching and expanding the publication to benefit the whole practice team.

Comprising 60 pages, Veterinary Practice Today will continue to provide valuable, high quality articles for veterinary practice managers, but also includes clinical and veterinary nursing sections.

The two new sections will provide clinical "how to" guides and topical articles covering issues relevant to veterinary surgeons and nurses in practice.

After launching in Autumn this year, an initial 7,500 distribution will target UK practice managers, veterinary surgeons and nurses, with the aim of providing an insightful, relevant and valuable publication for the whole team.

Soon, veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and practice managers will be able to register for their free copy through MRCVSonline and vnonline.

Any writers interested in contributing can contact Vision Media with their ideas.

Birmingham Dogs Home makes urgent appeal

News Story 1
 Birmingham Dogs Home has issued an urgent winter appeal as it faces more challenges over the Christmas period.

The rescue centre has seen a dramatic increase in dogs coming into its care, and is currently caring for over 200 dogs. With rising costs and dropping temperatures, the charity is calling for urgent support.

It costs the charity £6,000 per day to continue its work.

Fi Harrison, head of fundraising and communications, said: "It's heart-breaking for our team to see the conditions some dogs arrive in. We really are their last chance and hope of survival."

More information about the appeal can be found here.

Avian flu confirmed at premises in Cornwall

A case of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 has been detected in commercial poultry at a premises near Rosudgeon, Cornwall.

All poultry on the infected site will be humanely culled, and a 3km protection zone and 10km surveillance zone have been put in place. Poultry and other captive birds in the 3km protection zone must be housed.

The case is the second avian flu case confirmed in commercial poultry this month. The H5N5 strain was detected in a premises near Hornsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, in early November. Before then, the disease had not been confirmed in captive birds in England since February.

The UK chief veterinary officer has urged bird keepers to remain alert and practise robust biosecurity.
