NOAH chief executive Dawn Howard commented: “We are delighted to welcome Proagrica Animal Health to NOAH and look forward to working with them. 

"Data and digital products and services are increasingly important for the animal health industry, from the need for greater efficiencies to improve productivity and sustainability, through to the demand for increased traceability of the food we eat." 

She added: “The UK animal health and medicines industry is high-value, high-growth, high-skilled and invaluable to the UK’s fast-developing life sciences sector.”

Richard Sibbit, managing director of Proagrica Animal Health, said: “We have joined NOAH to understand the challenges of the animal health industry so that we can help address some of them.

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.
