New veterinary resource launches
Latest journal benefits the whole practice team

The launch of a new journal - Veterinary Practice Today - this Autumn will provide a resource for the whole practice team, including vets, vet nurses and practice managers.

Veterinary Practice Today will be brought to the profession each quarter by Vision Media, publishers of management journal Veterinary Management for Today (VMFT) for the past decade, as well as MRCVSonline and vnonline.

After 10 years of publishing VMFT, Vision Media are pleased to be relaunching and expanding the publication to benefit the whole practice team.

Comprising 60 pages, Veterinary Practice Today will continue to provide valuable, high quality articles for veterinary practice managers, but also includes clinical and veterinary nursing sections.

The two new sections will provide clinical "how to" guides and topical articles covering issues relevant to veterinary surgeons and nurses in practice.

After launching in Autumn this year, an initial 7,500 distribution will target UK practice managers, veterinary surgeons and nurses, with the aim of providing an insightful, relevant and valuable publication for the whole team.

Soon, veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and practice managers will be able to register for their free copy through MRCVSonline and vnonline.

Any writers interested in contributing can contact Vision Media with their ideas.

VMD issues guidance on AVM-GSL packaging

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has shared advice on its requirements for medicines considered AVM-GSL.

The guidance explains the information that should be on the outer package, and sets out the typical maximum pack size for an AVM-GSL product. It also describes the user-friendly language, structure and phrases required on packaging and product leaflets.

AVM-GSL products do not require discussion between the purchaser and a veterinary professional. This means that clear product information is needed to support sales choices.

The information will be useful for submitting new products to the AVM-GSL category and lowering the distribution category of products from NFA-VPS to AVM-GSL.

The VMD's guidance can be accessed here.
