Join our live webinar where BVA Senior Vice President Rob Williams and BVA President Gwen Rees will take you through the practical steps your small animal or mixed animal practice needs to take to get ready and compliant with the Competition and Markets Authority’s mandatory measures which are rolling out following the conclusion of its investigation into vet services for household pets.
The webinar will be interactive, with plenty of time for questions and discussion.
Together we’ll explore, step by step:
- The practical changes you and your practice need to make to comply with the CMA’s remedies
- The timeline for changes, depending on the size of your business
- What happens next.
The session will bring clarity and accuracy to help you navigate the CMA’s mandatory requirements, and clear-up some of the misinformation we know is circulating.
