Delegates urged to book for London Vet Show

The London Vet Show is returning to Olympia this November for two days of high quality CPD, and would-be delegates are encouraged to take advantage of their low rates. 1500 veterinary professionals have already registered for what promises to be a fantastic event.

This year’s show will deliver three streams of clinical CPD programmed by the Royal Veterinary College and led by Jill Maddison. Delegate feedback from last year has also been taken into account and theatres will be significantly larger this year to cater for all the attendees.

The line-up will include business lectures, sponsor-led seminars, practical workshops and association-led education sessions.

Also new for this year will be the introduction of the BVA Careers Fair, following the new partnership between the British Veterinary Association (BVA) and LVS. In addition, BVA members can enjoy a further 10% discount from the registration fee.

The London Vet Show will take place on the 15th and 16th November and will cost just £199 +VAT.

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.
