Awakening to Animals upcoming event
One-of-a-kind conference looks at animal abilities

The annual Awakening to Animals conference is to be held in June to raise awareness of scientific and spiritual discoveries about animal abilities.

Taking place at Chesford Grange Hotel, Spa and Conference Centre in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, the event will bring together a unique mix of global expert speakers.

Dubbed the only international conference of its kind, attendees will examine how the growing body of evidence on the special abilities of animals can be used to improve the earth and its inhabitants.

The conference, which will be held on June 22 and 23, 2013, will have two themes; equality for all life and bridging new science and animal spirituality.

Founders Elaine Downs, Julie Lines, Sue Reid and David William Bell aim to create a global task force of volunteers off the back of the event.

These volunteers will use their skills and expertise to help charities working to save and support endangered species and abused animals worldwide.

"We at Awakening to Animals want to help raise the consciousness of humanity, to grow a community of like-minded people together that hold an energy and intention that helps to shift the way we view and treat animals for the good of all people," said Elaine.

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.
