VMD on-site inspections postponed due to coronavirus (COVID-19)
Remote inspections will be done where possible and the Veterinary Medicines Regulations continue to apply.
Further to our news item of 18 March, as part of our response to coronavirus, we have postponed on-site inspections of veterinary medicines manufacturers, wholesale dealers, veterinary practice premises, SQP retailers, feed businesses and marketing authorisation holders (including pharmacovigilance systems) until further notice.
In the meantime, where possible, we will conduct office-based assessments (remote inspections) to assess compliance with the UK Veterinary Medicines Regulations.
This situation remains under review and we will provide further information as it becomes available.
If you have any questions please email inspections@vmd.gov.uk.
