'We need to find our inner voice'
Stacey Bullock
If elected to VN Council, Stacey Bullock hopes to see a more standardised to veterinary nurse training.

VN Council hopeful shares her future aims

Veterinary nurse Stacey Bullock is among six candidates hoping to be elected to the VN Council in this year's upcoming elections. If elected, she hopes to see a more standardised approach to veterinary nurse training, as well as improved efforts to empower veterinary nurses.

Adding value to the RVN
Speaking to VetCommunity, Stacey said she would like to see every practice team member helping to add value to RVNs by empowering them to carry out the tasks for which they are trained.

"They are extremely under-utilised and therefore morale runs low," she explained. If nurses were empowered within practice, she believes it would reaffirm the need for qualified nursing staff in all practices.

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.
