Ultralink allows practices to monitor performance in real time 

An innovative new product for monitoring practice performance in real-time has been launched by AT Veterinary Systems.

Ultralink was introduced at BSAVA Congress last week (7-9 April) and promises to revolutionise the way performance data is monitored.

AT Veterinary Systems supports modern veterinary practices through the provision of state-of-the-art software. Its latest offering analyses practice data in real-time and produces live reports, allowing practices to constantly monitor their performance, respond to unforeseen challenges and proactively manage their service levels, efficiency, clinical performance and health care protocols.

Ultralink comes preloaded with a range of reports that can be amended or customised, and new reports can also be created. Integration with AT’s Spectrum DDS software allows reporting in areas such as sales, stock, appointments, microchipping, pet health parameters, reminders and insurance claims.

With over 35 methods of inputting, interacting with, processing and outputting data, Ultralink allows for an unlimited number of unique reports to be created. As a result, practices can make immediate changes to improve their performance.

Bluetongue RZ extended across Scotland

The Scottish Government has announced an extension to a Bluetongue Restricted Zone that is in place in south-west Scotland.

From 3 October, the Restricted Zone will be extended to cover the whole of Scotland. The Animal, Plant and Health Agency (APHA) says this is in response to further disease spread, as well as simplify trading conditions ahead of the autumn.

Since the whole country will share a disease status, it will no longer be necessary to have a movement license to move susceptible livestock around the country. Restrictions on germinal products remain.

As of 1 October 2026, there were 1,979 cases of BTV-3 in England, 389 cases in Wales and 40 cases in Scotland.
