A new journal for the whole practice team
The origins and evolution of Practice Today

Veterinary Practice Today is a new publication borne from Veterinary Management for Today – the journal of the Veterinary Practice Management Association and published by Vision Media.

Following a decade in production, Vision Media decided to evolve Veterinary Management for Today from a journal exclusively for practice managers, to a publication for the whole practice team – Veterinary Practice for Today, shortened to Veterinary Practice Today.

In addition to providing essential information for practice managers, vets and nurses, Veterinary Practice Today seamlessly incorporates print with digital media by existing as the journal of MRCVSonline and VNonline, the news and membership websites reporting daily updates for the profession.

Veterinary Practice Today will be launched at this year's London Vet Show (November 21 – 22) and will continue to grow and evolve. This is an exciting time for the veterinary publishing industry and our MRCVSonline and VNonline members, so watch this space!

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
