AVS launches new EMS guide to help vet students
“The launch of our clinical EMS guide, which complements our pre-clinical guide, means that we can now help students optimise their EMS in all years of the course."
Clinical guide aims to optimise EMS experience 

The Association of Veterinary Students (AVS) has launched a new clinical EMS guide to support students during their extra mural studies.

Developed after an 18-month process, the guide offers advice for students and practising vets on areas such as: what to revise, how to source placements and key items to take when going on placement.

It covers a wide variety of different placements, including small animal, farm animal, equine, exotics, conferences and veterinary public health.

AVS president David Charles, said: “The launch of our clinical EMS guide, which complements our pre-clinical guide, means that we can now help students optimise their EMS in all years of the course.

“Supporting students is a key role for AVS and this guide will support students on EMS, alongside the new AVS EMS grants - which open for applications in October - and the EMS experience report that will be launched in an exclusive session at the London Vet Show.”

AVS is working with UK vet schools to ensure all students have access to both digital and hard copies of the guide, which will be circulated in September.

A digital copy of the guide can be found here: bit.ly/AVSEMSGuide

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.
