Tickets for the live webinar are sold out, but individuals can register to receive a recording of the event.
RCVS is holding a free interactive webinar on Thursday, 15 June to provide further information about the upcoming new guidance on under care and remote prescribing of prescription-only veterinary medicines.
The webinar is open to veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and veterinary students.
The aim of the session is to:
- Talk you through the new guidance, describe the safeguards it contains, and discuss how it be should be followed in a variety of different practice settings.
- Explain how the new guidance will be implemented and enforced across the profession, and discuss the exemptions that it also contains.
- Provide an opportunity to answer any questions you may have.
Ms Belton said: “The webinar is an opportunity to put the guidance changes into a practice context and in relation to the different species. We will be discussing what we need to provide for animals taken under our care, the situations where a physical examination is required and all the considerations we need to take into account at the time of prescribing.
“Crucially, members of the veterinary team will also have the opportunity to ask us questions so we can help allay any concerns or misconceptions they may have about the guidance and its implications.”
Questions can be submitted during the live session or beforehand when registering for the webinar. Any unanswered questions will be followed up in writing after the event.
Tickets for the live webinar are now sold out, but those who are interested can register to receive a recording of the event. Individuals can also register to be added to a waiting list for future events.
Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
