  • sustainability for animal health marketers.

Speakers will include Dawn Howard, chief executive of the National Office of Animal Health; Simon Doherty, director of Vet Sustain; Marian Boss, interim head of the legislation and enforcement officer at the Veterinary Medicines Directorate; and Roshan Kapoor from WeAreMBC. 

The VMA is the representative body for members working in all areas of the animal health industry and the veterinary profession interested in the promotion of products, services or health and welfare information.
