FIVP partners with Rudlings Wakelam Solicitors
The new collaboration reflects FIVP's commitment to working with independent businesses.
Law firm will provide specialist advice to vets 

The Federation of Independent Veterinary Practices (FIVP) has announced a partnership with Rudlings Wakelam Solicitors, which will see the law firm offer FIVP members legal support and assistance.

In a press release, FIVP said the new collaboration reflects its commitment to working with independent businesses and that it will further enhance its extensive range of member benefits and services.

FIVP spokesperson Jacqui Garrett said: “FIVP highly values the support it receives from industry partners and is eager to work with organisations that support independent business. Rudlings Wakelam’s reputation as a trusted advisor to the veterinary industry makes it an ideal companion for FIVP member practices.”

Rudlings Wakelam provides specialist advice to vets on matters that may arise through the operation of their business, such as dispute resolution, property transactions and corporate structuring. Founded on strong and long-lasting relationships with its clients, the business tailors its advice to individual circumstances in a way that is thoughtful and easy to digest.

FIVP is a not-for-profit association of independently owned veterinary practices. Focusing on the needs of its members, FIVP aims to generate a cohesive voice that encourages vets to have their say on important veterinary issues within the industry.

FIVP and Rudlings Wakelam will be exhibiting at London Vet Show 2018 (15-16 November).

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.
