Survey seeks views on NOAH Compendium
"The more feedback we get, the better we can plan how to best provide this valuable resource in the future" - Dawn Howard, NOAH.
Responses will be used to shape and inform future editions. 

Users of the the NOAH Compendium of Data Sheets for Animal Medicines are being encouraged to share their views of the resource for a chance to win one of three £100 Amazon vouchers.

NOAH (National Office of Animal Health) would like to hear from veterinary professionals who use the Compendium through the book, website or app, with the feedback being used to inform and shape future editions. A link to the survey can be found here. 

Dawn Howard, NOAH chief executive says: “In order to find out more about how the Compendium is used and to help identify future needs, we are running a survey of users who work in veterinary practices. We have enlisted the help of consultant Mo Gannon & Associates to help us in this task.

“The more feedback we get, the better we can plan how to best provide this valuable resource in the future, so we are really keen to get a good response. Taking part in the survey will give users the opportunity to say how they think we can improve the Compendium in future years to assist them in prescribing veterinary medicines and advising animal keepers on their use.”

The survey will remain open until 5 March and takes around 10 minutes to complete.

Practices urged to audit neutering data

News Story 1
 RCVS Knowledge has called on vet practices to audit their post-operative neutering outcomes.

It follows the release of the 2024 NASAN benchmarking report, which collates data from neutering procedures performed on dogs, cats and rabbits.

The benchmarking report enables practices in the UK and Ireland to compare their post-operative outcomes to the national average. This includes the rate of patients lost to follow-up, which in 2024 increased to 23 per cent.

Anyone from the practice can submit the data using a free template. The deadline for next report is February 2026.

Visit the RCVS Knowledge website to complete an audit.

New guidance for antibiotic use in rabbits

New best practice guidance on the responsible use of antibiotics in rabbits has been published by the BSAVA in collaboration with the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWA&F).

The guidance is free and has been produced to help veterinary practitioners select the most appropriate antibiotic for rabbits. It covers active substance, dose and route of administration all of which are crucial factors when treating rabbits owing to the risk of enterotoxaemia.

For more information and to access the guide, visit the BSAVALibrary.
