Sri Lankan vet named first recipient of new WSAVA award
Dr Nalinika Obeyesekere has become the first recipient of the WSAVA’s new award for companion animal welfare.

Sri Lankan veterinary surgeon Dr Nalinika Obeyesekere has become the first recipient of the WSAVA’s new award for companion animal welfare.

Developed by the WSAVA’s Animal Wellness and Welfare Committee (AWWC), the award recognises individual veterinary surgeons who have made a significant contribution to animal welfare and inspired others to play their part.

“Nalinika’s approach to animal welfare is grounded in science and this has enabled her to lobby successfully on a range of welfare issues with government agencies and other stakeholders,” said co-chair of the WSAVA AWWC, Dr Melinda Merck. “Nalinika is a beacon of excellence in Sri Lanka and beyond.”

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.
