Veterinary Business and Management Congress draws closer
VPMA and SPVS combined Congress takes place in January

The combined Congress of the Veterinary Practice Management Association (VPMA) and the Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) will take place from 24th - 26th January 2013 at Heythrop Park, Oxfordshire.

The UK's two major veterinary management congresses have merged to offer top quality practice management CPD for all members of the practice team, in the first 'Veterinary Business and Management Congress', seen as a logical step after two years of successful combined business and management CPD courses from both organisations.

SPVS and VPMA are hoping that owner vets will attend with their practice managers, head vets or head nurse, so the team can compare notes and work together to implement the best of what they have learnt.

The Congress will host 20 masterclass sessions, four lectures streams, world renowned speakers and over 30 hours of CPD. Topics covered will include practice health and finance, people performance management, personal development and practice strategy.

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.
