Inaugural FEI Sports Forum meets
Four central themes discussed

The inaugural meeting of the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI, trans. International Equestrian Federation) Sports Forum has seen in excess of 180 delegates from the veterinary profession, National Federations, the International Jumping Riders Club and the press come to Lausanne, Switzerland to discuss and debate issues of profound importance to the equine veterinary sector.

A panel led by the Chair of the FEI Veterinary Committee John McEwan discussed possible adjustments to the 2013 FEI Veterinary Regulations, the international movement of horses, the topic of blood during competition with a strong emphasis on equine welfare, and issues surround cloning and the subsequent progeny of clones.

Commenting, FEI Secretary General Ingmar de Vos said “These have been very important days for the FEI with the creation of the Sports Forum. We have had very constructive, high level discussions and we are looking forward to receiving your feedback.”

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.
