BSAVA annual awards are coming
Vote now for exceptional contribution awards

If you haven't already, be sure to cast your vote for the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) awards.

The awards are a chance to recognise colleagues who have been inspiring and made exceptional contributions to the veterinary profession. It is important that these people are rewarded and their recognition helps encourage others to improve.

Categories include; outstanding contributions to the advancement of small animal veterinary medicine or surgery, outstanding contributions to the welfare of companion animals, and meritorious contributions by veterinary surgeons to small animal veterinary practice.

The Frank Beattie Travel Scholarship will also award a BSAVA member with a £2,000 scholarship to study a particular aspect of veterinary practice abroad.

All BSAVA members are eligible to vote, and can chose to vote for multiple categories or just one. The awards ceremony will take place on 4-7 April 2013 at the BSAVA Congress. To vote, visit www.bsava.com/awards or call 01452 726705. Voting closes 14 September 2012.

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.
