From the supply of POMs to proposed changes in the BVA'S structure
Veterinary Record 2003; 152:(19):575-578

Abstract:

Concerns about the effects on the profession of the Government’s acceptance of the Competition Commission’s report on the supply of veterinary prescription-only medicines (POMs) were highlighted at a meeting of BVA Council on April 30. The implications for small animal as well as farm animal practices of the ongoing review of LVI contracts were also discussed, as were the training of veterinary nurses and the future structure of the BVA itself. The meeting was chaired by the BVA President, Mr Peter Jinman, and held at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in London.
