Cambridge University hosts new CPD event
International Fiesta of CPD to be held in December

The Department of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Cambridge is to host an International Fiesta of small animal medicine CPD on 7th December this year.

The event will involve a number of international small animal medicine specialists, including John Bonagura of Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Ian Ramsey of the University of Liverpool.

Subjects under discussion in the feline stream include:
  • an update on feline asthma
  • controversial thoughts about liver disease
  • management of corneal sequestra
  • cardiovascular disease
  • congestive failure

The canine stream meanwhile will look at a number of issues, including:
  • Addisonian crises
  • diabetic ketoacidosis
  • genetic testing
  • protein losing enteropathies
  • pain assessment for analgesia


To attend the CPD day costs £220 plus VAT. Veterinary graduates are charged £150 plus VAT.

New form for online veterinary medicines retailers

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has produced a new online form for retailers wishing to sell veterinary medicines on the internet.

The form replace the previous Word version and is part of the VMD's ongoing commitment to digitise its processes. Anyone retailing prescription medicines online, including POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS categories, is lawfully required to register with the VMD before trading.

The change only applies to new applicants. Retailers already listed on the VMD's Register of Online Retailers or registered under the Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS) do not need to do anything.
