Learners will be able to explore a range of approaches and techniques.

The RCVS has announced the launch of two new resources in its Leadership Library to help professionals develop leadership and Quality Improvement skills.

Both topics feature curated content from trusted sources, research and insight from RCVS Knowledge and guides from team leaders across the RCVS. 

Gurpreet Gill, RCVS leadership and inclusion manager, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer these two additional topics in the Leadership Library, which include resources that have been curated in collaboration with our charity partner, RCVS Knowledge. The content will enable learners to reflect on the importance of excellent team-working and communication to achieve high-quality outcomes and the leadership skills required to build and sustain healthy workplace cultures."

She added: “Learners can explore a range of approaches and techniques designed to help teams develop and embed good practice in quality improvement. The content also includes recent research into leadership and culture and looks at the skills and strategies needed to cultivate a work environment where people are able to perform at their best.”

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.
