Proagrica Animal Health joins NOAH as associate member
"Data and digital products and services are increasingly important for the animal health industry" - Dawn Howard, NOAH.
The firm provides data and digital products for the animal health industry.

The National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) has welcomed Proagrica Animal Health as an associate member.

Proagrica Animal Health provides digital and data products and services to the veterinary, agriculture and animal health industries. With more than 25 years of experience, the company has offices in Portsmouth, Sutton and central London.

NOAH chief executive Dawn Howard commented: “We are delighted to welcome Proagrica Animal Health to NOAH and look forward to working with them. 

"Data and digital products and services are increasingly important for the animal health industry, from the need for greater efficiencies to improve productivity and sustainability, through to the demand for increased traceability of the food we eat." 

She added: “The UK animal health and medicines industry is high-value, high-growth, high-skilled and invaluable to the UK’s fast-developing life sciences sector.”

Richard Sibbit, managing director of Proagrica Animal Health, said: “We have joined NOAH to understand the challenges of the animal health industry so that we can help address some of them.

"We believe NOAH will also provide a great networking opportunity with the aim to raise the visibility of Proagrica and to connect to others within the industry. We are looking to get fully involved and provide a ‘digital voice’ to relevant sub-committees.”

BBC Radio 4 documentary addresses corporate fees

BBC Radio 4's File on 4 Investigates has released a documentary exploring how corporate-owned veterinary practices may be inflating bills to increase profit.

Released on 15 April, 'What's Happening To Your Vet Bills?' revealed the policies which many corporate groups have in place to increase their profits. This included targets and upgrades which veterinary teams are tasked with meeting on a regular basis.

It also features Anrich Vets, an independently-owned practice based in Wigan. Following the case of Staffordshire terrier Benjy, who is diagnosed with a tumour, the documentary shares how the team were able to offer contextualised care and advice to make the procedure as affordable as possible for his owners.

The documentary can be heard on demand on BBC iPlayer.
