Views sought on proposed AHVLA policy

The AHVLA delivers Government policies relating to animal health and welfare.
Agency sets out its approach to regulation

Stakeholders have an opportunity to share their views on a proposed new AHVLA policy that sets out the agency's approach to regulation.

The AHVLA is the regulator responsible for delivering Government policies that relate to animal health and welfare in Britain.

In April this year a new Regulators' Code will come into force, providing a flexible framework for regulation and allowing regulators to customise their service and enforcement policies to suit those they regulate.

The code has a statutory basis under the Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006.

In developing the policies that guide its regulatory services, the AHVLA has a statutory duty to regard this code.

The agency has proposed a Regulatory and Compliance Policy, which sets out its approach to compliance and enforcement, the desired outcomes and the principles guiding its regulatory activities.

The policy also describes how the AHVLA will support and advise regulated industries.

To read the Regulatory and Compliance Policy, visit the AHVLA website. Comments on the policy can be submitted by email to AHVLAPublicConsultation@ahvla.gsi.gov.uk

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.
