Get ready for the 2007 Compendium!

The 2007 edition of the NOAH Compendium of Data Sheets for Animal Medicines is close to publication. The full version will be sent to vet practices in December, and NOAH is asking any new practice, or practice that has changed address since January to tell them their details, if they have not already done so. Extra copies are also available to order now, for £35.

Once again, NOAH is also producing two special editions for SQPs, which exclude POM-V medicines. AMTRA has commissioned these publications and will send the appropriate one to each person registered on its SQP lists.

There is a version with all non-POM-V medicines, primarily for merchant SQPs, and a slimmer version containing just the companion animal and equine non-POM-V medicines, for SQPs able to supply the equine and/or companion animal medicines – which now includes increasing numbers of veterinary nurses who have gained the SQP qualification.

But NOAH predicts its use will be wider. “The companion animal and equine edition will be of great value to community pharmacists who are entering the companion animal medicine market,” said NOAH chief executive Phil Sketchley.

Copies of these additional versions will be available from NOAH for £10, in the New Year. See www.noah.co.uk or www.noahcompendium.co.uk for more details.
