BEVA revamps medicines resource

BEVA medicines.

BEVA has updated its online medicines guidance resource to help members negotiate the intricacies of prescribing equine medicines and use the cascade accurately.

The online guidance now includes:

  • BEVA client information leaflets, to help members inform clients of potential adverse effects of medicines when using the cascade.
  • A BEVA-branded prescription form to help members comply with RCVS guidance, while reducing opportunities for prescription fraud.
  • 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 flow chart for treating horses without a passport.
  • The BEVA 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 guidance on use of veterinary specials in equine practice.
  • Links to download the BEVA Equine Drugs App.

Access

The guidance can be accessed through the “Resources for vets” section of the BEVA website.

Note some resources require members to be logged in.

Equine courses

BEVA will also be holding two equine medicine courses in October, to provide evidence-based updates on a range of topical issues in equine medicine.

With a focus on recent research with practical relevance, the courses are aimed at clinicians who have attained, or are working towards, certificate level qualifications.

The first will be held in Oulton, Leeds on 10 October, with the second in Oxford on 31 October.
