A new journal for the whole practice team
The origins and evolution of Practice Today

Veterinary Practice Today is a new publication borne from Veterinary Management for Today – the journal of the Veterinary Practice Management Association and published by Vision Media.

Following a decade in production, Vision Media decided to evolve Veterinary Management for Today from a journal exclusively for practice managers, to a publication for the whole practice team – Veterinary Practice for Today, shortened to Veterinary Practice Today.

In addition to providing essential information for practice managers, vets and nurses, Veterinary Practice Today seamlessly incorporates print with digital media by existing as the journal of MRCVSonline and VNonline, the news and membership websites reporting daily updates for the profession.

Veterinary Practice Today will be launched at this year's London Vet Show (November 21 – 22) and will continue to grow and evolve. This is an exciting time for the veterinary publishing industry and our MRCVSonline and VNonline members, so watch this space!

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.
