RCVS Fellowship launches online discussion forum
“The RCVS Fellowship Team is really excited for Fellows to start using the forum" - Cheryl Scudamore.
The platform will help Fellows share knowledge and build connections.

The RCVS Fellowship has launched an online discussion forum to help its members share ideas, build connections and have more involvement in future activities.

The Forum, exclusive to anyone with the FRCVS credentials, is hosted on the open-source platform, Discourse, and aims to make starting and contributing to discussions ‘as user-friendly as possible’.

Once registered, Fellows can add new discussion topics, make their contribution to ongoing discussions, see what has been commented on most recently. The RCVS Fellowship team will also be on-hand to support users with getting to grips with the platform. 

Discussions already underway include ‘how to encourage greater diversity within the Fellowship’, ‘recommendations and nominations for the Fellows in Focus for 2022’, and a discussion about ‘what members think the term ‘Learned Society’ means to them’. 

Cheryl Scudamore, vice-chair of the Fellowship Board, commented: “The RCVS Fellowship Team is really excited for Fellows to start using the forum to share their knowledge and connect with other like-minded people. The Fellowship is full of inspiring and interesting individuals, who have expertise across the entire breadth of veterinary science, and I hope that our new forum will give all Fellows the opportunity to learn more about other members of the Learned Society.

“As one of the first members of the Discourse forum, I can attest to how easy it is to use. I’m looking forward to meeting as many Fellows as possible through the forum and creating a community of people committed to scientific advancement of the profession.”

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.
