Upgrade to practice management software
Spectrum Release 5  has been released by AT Veterinary Systems.
Spectrum Release 5 – new from AT Veterinary Systems.

New generation of practice management software

Improved practice management software package Spectrum Release 5 (SR5) has been unveiled by AT Veterinary Systems.

The veterinary software development firm said SR5 has been a substantial development project and offers a significant change to the current Spectrum Practice Management System (PMS) database engine and operation.

The new software can now run entirely on Mac OS X systems as well as UNIX and Linux, and offers unparalleled stability and industry-leading support.

It has undergone internal and external testing and has to date already recorded more than five million transactions.

Taking full advantage of the OS X server platform, SR5 delivers improved practice management functions. Like its predecessors, SR5 remains fully compatible with both Windows and Apple Mac terminals.

SR5 also offers the platform for the new AT Veterinary Systems' Distributed Database System (DDS), which will provide a faster centrally managed system amongst multi-branch practices.

King Charles becomes patron of The Kennel Club

The Kennel Club has announced that King Charles has become its latest patron, continuing a long-standing royal tradition.

His patronage follows the support of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who was patron from 1952, the year of her coronation, until her death in 2022.

The Kennel Club has received royal support since it began in 1873, when it received support from Prince Edward, then Prince of Wales. When he ascended to the throne in 1901, King Edward began a tradition of the head of state offering their patronage.

Tony Allcock, Kennel Club Chairman, said: "We are delighted and most honoured that His Majesty the King will continue the tradition of royal support for The Kennel Club and help us in our mission in making a positive difference for dogs and their owners."
