Animal domestic violence CPD
Day-long event aimed at veterinary professionals and students

Medics Against Violence will run training in animal domestic abuse for the veterinary team on Wednesday, September 18.

Domestic Abuse Training for the Veterinary Team is a one-day CPD event to equip participating vets, vet nurses and students with the necessary skills and knowledge to approach this subject safely.

Speakers will include Linda Borland from the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit, Freda Scott-Park from The Links Group and Paul Roger from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).

Christine Goodall will also be speaking on behalf of the organisers Medics Against Violence, and Naomi Breeze will be presenting "Jackie's Story", for a personal insight into animal domestic violence.

The event, which will be held at Forth Valley College in Stirling, Scotland, focuses on the the fact that animals are often the silent victims of domestic abuse.

At a cost of £100 to vets and £30 to both vet nurses and students, delegates will also be provided with lunch and refreshments, and will be given a CPD certificate for their attendance.

To book, call 0141 532 5816 or email Medics Against Violence.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
