· Easy to use explanations of the prescribing Cascade in food producing and non-food producing animals including dynamic flow charts to guide members through the decision making steps.
· The BEVA emergency treatment form and interactive flowchart for treating horses without a passport.
· The BEVA award winning PROTECT ME toolkit to create a customised protocol for practices to develop responsible antibiotic use guidelines.
· The BEVA members’ product database to help members share details of suppliers of hard to source medicines.
· BEVA’s guidance on the use of veterinary specials in equine practice.
· Links to download BEVA’s formulary App “BEVA Drugs”
The guidance can be accessed through the Resources for Vets section of the BEVA website.
