RCVS Day for vets and nurses
RCVS President Jacqui Molyneux

AGM, awards and presidential handover

Members of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), as well as listed and registered veterinary nurses, are invited to attend the upcoming RCVS Day.

Held on Friday, July 5 at London's Royal College of Physicians, the day will include the RCVS Annual General Meeting (AGM) and an award presentation.

Furthermore, Dr Andy Stringer, director of programmes at the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad (SPANA) will be guest speaking on improving the health and welfare of working animals worldwide.

The event will be the last official engagement for Jacqui Molyneux as RCVS President, who will be chairing the AGM, starting at 10am.

Once she has welcomed new members to both the RCVS Council and the Veterinary Nurses Council, she will hand over the post to the 2013/2014 president, Colonel Neil Smith.

RCVS Day is intended to recognise and celebrate the achievements of those within the veterinary profession, with honorary awards, fellowships and diplomas being presented.

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.
