BVA welcomes extension to Under Care transition period for parasiticide compliance

Of the RCVS announcement, BVA President Malcolm Morley said: "It’s good to see RCVS Council extending the compliance deadline for the prescription of anti-parasitic POM-Vs in all species, allowing practices time to transition to full compliance with the Veterinary Medicines Regulations. The decision comes following our representations on behalf of our members for a pragmatic solution. Given that this issue has been a significant concern for a majority of practices, including those inspected under the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme, the extension is of utmost importance in ensuring that all vets can effectively navigate the recently introduced RCVS guidance on Under Care.”
