WSAVA launches oncology resources
"One of the particular challenges facing veterinary oncology is the significant regional variation in its development globally" - Dr Martin Soberano.
'Fast Facts' summaries to aid diagnosis of tumours.

The World Small Animal Veterinary Association's (WSAVA) Oncology Working Group (WOW Group) will launch its 'Fast Facts' initiative – a series of one page summaries to help veterinary surgeons diagnose and treat tumours.

Set to launch at the WSAVA Congress, taking place from 29 – 31 October, the summaries for transmissible venereal tumours (TVT) and mammary tumours will be the first Fast Facts in the series to be released.

The resources will be available for veterinary professionals to download for free in English and Spanish on the WSAVA website during this year's congress, and an accompanying version targeted towards pet owners will be made available later on.

Created by the WOW Group, the summaries are the group's latest project, and WOW Group Chair Dr Martin Soberano said: “One of the particular challenges facing veterinary oncology is the significant regional variation in its development globally – whether this is caused by limited veterinary education and experience; a lack of equipment or simply a lack of financial resources.

“The WOW Group is focused on creating tools that will reduce this regional variation, leading to a global improvement in the care of veterinary oncology patients.

“We are delighted to launch the first of our Fast Facts and look forward to discussing TVTs and mammary tumors in companion animals with WSAVA delegates later this week.”

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.
