CEO has big plans for RCVS
Promises a Royal College 'to be proud of'

New CEO of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), Nick Stace, has spoken of his intentions to drive reform at the Royal College to make it an organisation "we can all be proud of."

Speaking ahead of the RCVS council meeting held last Thursday [1st November], Mr Stace told the veterinary press that the RCVS is 'under-confident' and unclear about its 'mission in life' but that he has "the impression there is an appetite for change and I am confident I can carry out that change, especially after a very difficult time faced by the college."

Mr Stace outlined six main themes for the future, including better relationships between college staff and council, abetter connection with the profession and the public, and a move away from the current IT system.

He said: “I will be in the driving seat of reform for this organisation and I want you to please help me with that in every way you can. When I get it wrong please tell me so I have the opportunity to get it right.



“I want this organisation to be one we can all be proud of - one that’s on the front and not the back foot and promoting the interests of the profession in everything we do.”

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.
