Registration Open for VPMA Congress!
VPMA urges early registration to avoid missing out on congress.

The Veterinary Practice Management Association (VPMA) is now taking registrations for its 2012 Congress, which will take place at Chesford Grange Hotel, a luxury hotel in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, from the 26th to 28th January 2012.

The Congress already promises to raise the high benchmark set last year, which broke all records and was fully booked. Early registration is accordingly advised for this year to avoid disappointment.

Hailed as Gold Standard management CPD, the event runs across three streams and delegates are free to attend the presentation that best meets their own personal training needs or addresses an issue relevant in their practice.

With an increasing number of overseas delegates attending the event, VPMA Congress can claim to be one of the foremost congresses in the world dedicated to practice management.

To registers and find out more about the Congress, visit the website.

Animal Medicines Amnesty returns this November

News Story 1
 Veterinary practices are being urged to help owners safely dispose of any unused and expired pet medicines - not just antibiotics - during November's Animal Medicines Amnesty.

Organised by the Responsible Use of Medicines Alliance Companion Animal and Equine (RUMA CA&E), the initative is supported by a range of cross-sector organisations.

Practices are encouraged to use the campaign to engage the whole practice team and raise awareness of the safe disposal of medicines with clients. Learn how your practice can get involved at rumacae.org.uk

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.
