We have been advised by the Irish Ministry for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, that the use of NVPS will become mandatory on 13th January 2025. As of this date, all prescribing and dispensing of veterinary prescriptions for food producing animals and all horses, must be transmitted to the NVPS database.
Clearly this is not being welcomed by the profession, but we are obliged to provide the functionality within the Teleos program and have been working with the ministry for some time to achieve conformance.
We are confident that everything is in place, but do need to have a couple of our Irish clients to do final beta testing before it is rolled out to all practices. We would like to perform this testing through November.
It is vital that final testing is done before the mandatory start date. If you would like to volunteer to be a beta test practice, please get in touch.
Many thanks!
