Delegates to benefit from new farm animal and equine programmes

Ahead of this year's London Vet Show, which takes place from November 21 to 22, organisers have announced brand new farm animal and equine programmes, as well as companion animal clinical and popular business streams.

Headlining this year's companion animal clinical, which has been programmed by the Royal Veterinary College (RVC), is Colorado State University's Howie B Seim III.

Organisers have this year introduced 12 brand new sessions on farm animal work programmed by the BVA, covering a broad range of topics for those in mixed practice. Acclaimed figures to speak at the event include Robert Blowey, Dai Grove White and Dick Sibley.

Also programmed by the BVA this year is a set of 12 new equine sessions.

These include:
  • Emergency protocol, by Jim Green

  • Critical decisions on equine colic and when to refer, by Andrew Higgins
  • Insight into how best to perform a new foal check, by Emily Haggett
As well as sessions by the RVC, Burtons and Merial

The event's popular business stream will return this year with lectures covering issues relevant to the veterinary profession in the current economic climate, such as marketing, team motivation and health and safety.

This year's sessions include:
  • How to survive in a corporate world & add £50,000 per vet per year, by Alan Robinson
  • How to make the most of your online presence, by Tim Puddle

New form for online veterinary medicines retailers

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has produced a new online form for retailers wishing to sell veterinary medicines on the internet.

The form replace the previous Word version and is part of the VMD's ongoing commitment to digitise its processes. Anyone retailing prescription medicines online, including POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS categories, is lawfully required to register with the VMD before trading.

The change only applies to new applicants. Retailers already listed on the VMD's Register of Online Retailers or registered under the Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS) do not need to do anything.
