Summary

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate is seeking views from stakeholders to inform future reform of the UK’s veterinary medicines regulatory framework.

This call for evidence ran from
9am on 1 September 2025 to 11:59pm on 26 September 2025

Call for evidence description

The purpose of this review is to evaluate whether the legislation is operating as intended now, if it continues to effectively protect animal and public health and the environment, and avoids imposing unnecessary or excessive regulatory burdens. The review is also looking at the structure of the legislation and whether restructure or consolidation would make the regulations clearer or easier to implement.

We would value your views and experiences on the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013 (as amended) which are relevant to you or your organisation. Please provide us with unbiased responses and where possible, specific examples.
