Advice on disciplinary processes
The BVA is providing advice videos on disciplinary processes

Five short videos giving advice on disciplinary processes can now be watched by BVA members as part of their membership package.

The expert-led videos are aimed at both employers and employees, and explain the recommended procedures, in the hope that both parties remain well-informed and fair throughout the process. Advice includes when to give a warning to an employee and how to prepare for a disciplinary hearing.

Each video uses a case study, highlighting the different stages of the process, showing what the stages mean, and helping both employes and employees to prepare for them.

Robin Hargreaves, Chair of the BVA Members Services Group said, 'There is evidently a need for such information and I hope members of the veterinary team check the whole range of free employment resources BVA members can access before paying for external legal advice - it might not be needed.'

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.
