BSAVA website relaunches with new features
MyBSAVA function brings new resources for vets and vet nurses

A new version of the BSAVA's website has been launched, making it easier for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses to find a wider range of resources.

Users of the new website are able to make use of a MyBSAVA function, allowing them to access and update account information, view purchases, buy publications and complete a personalised CPD record.

The Knowledge Vault is another new feature, contained within MyBSAVA, which allows users to download and view their favourite content.

According to the BSAVA, this will be increasingly important as the association seeks to increase its range of digital material over the next few years.

Previous content remains on the site, including JSAP, Companion and the BSAVA Congress lecture archive, as well as support material such as position statements and advice on subjects such as antibiotic use and zoonotic diseases.

As the BSAVA develops its overseas membership, it says the website will become an important resource for veterinary professionals all over the world.

Members of the association and those previously registered to the site have been emailed with details on using the new site. Any members with questions about the new site can email administration@bsava.com.

Visit the new website at www.bsava.com

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.
