Training programme for UK farmers and vets aims to encourage responsible use of antibiotics

The National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) have launched a training programme offering support to ensure antibiotics used across UK farms are used in a responsible manner.
Launched on 17th July 2018, the ‘Animal Medicines Best Practice Programme’ offers access to online training modules and resource material to farmers and vets working in sheep, dairy, beef and pig sectors. The aim of the programme is to raise awareness, increase knowledge and understanding, and drive best practice across UK farms.
Gaynor Hillier, Chair of NOAH said on the programme, “We’re delighted to be able to lead the way in making this type of training easily accessible and available. The training will provide support to both farmers and vets, and reassurance to consumers that our farmers have the skills to use antibiotics responsibly on their produce.”
