VN Uniform a ‘Fashion Classic’
The P785 tunic.
Some uniform styles come and go but Grahame Gardner’s P785 is displaying all the signs of enduring popularity associated with a classic style.  After being developed for the fashion focused Beauty Market, Grahame Gardner soon found interest for the tunic coming from the Veterinary Market – where it continues to be a hit!

The classic style boasts a mandarin style collar and side opening detail, with attractive pearl studs and a tri-button internal security feature.

Simon Ward, Sales Director comments on the ongoing success of this style: “We design new tunics throughout the year, but when the outlines for the P785 were put on the table we all recognised they were something special. The response from the Veterinary Market has been phenomenal and it has gone on to be one of our best sellers. What makes the P785 so popular is its broad appeal, it represents a more fashionable take on workwear, so is popular with all members of staff, yet it is also very smart and professional so the management also give it their seal of approval. Perhaps best of all, the cut and the length of the tunic mean that is a very flattering shape for all.”

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.
