Acas helps practice managers

Acas launches a free online resource to help managers improve their skills.

‘Top tips for better management’ brings guidance and practical resources together from Acas, the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Health and Safety Executive, and Affinity Health at Work - making it easier for managers to support their staff.

CMI chief executive Ruth Spellman said: “We know from our research that managers are looking for information on how to maintain motivation levels among their teams, in particular. The imperative now is to make sure that managers get the information they need, plus appropriate and useful resources so that they can get the best from their staff in the New Year. This new online resource should really help them cope with some of the challenges ahead.”

This resource was created in response to Dame Carol Black’s report on health in the workplace, which linked line manager behaviour to employee health.

The resource is available to read at www.acas.org.uk

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.
