London Vet Show comes to a close
Day two draws to an end for annual show

The second and final day at London Vet Show 2012 will soon be ending, as exhibitors begin to pack away their stands and CPD sessions draw to a close.

Thousands of veterinary surgeons and professionals have attended the fourth annual event, at London's Olympia Grand Hall, with networking and training opportunities in abundance.

The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) provided three streams of clinical programmes throughout the two days, with today's talks including 'Saving sight - when to treat and when to refer', 'Tips for developing a cat-friendly practice - more than just avoiding big dogs' and 'Antimicrobial therapy in dentistry - if, when and where?'.

Delegates have been able to attend a line-up of business lectures, sponsor-led seminars, practical workshops, and education sessions - ran by various associations - at the show, alongside the RVC clinical programmes.

Aside from CPD, hundreds of exhibitors have been promoting their charities, products and services for the duration of the show, enabling veterinary professionals to speak-one-to one with sales consultants and learn more about the organisations first hand.

It is true to say that - with bags bursting with information - both delegates and exhibitors will take something away from this valuable event.

We shall look forward to London Vet Show 2013.

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.
