Webinar – Changes to the regulatory framework for veterinary medicines

On 1 November 2023, the HPRA held a webinar for marketing authorisation holders of veterinary medicines to provide information on changes to the regulatory framework, consequent to the introduction of Regulation 2019/6 and associated new national legislation.

The video recordings of the two webinar sessions are available to view below.

A Questions and Answers document was developed to provide further information on topics discussed in the webinar. The document is available to download.

If you wish to receive a copy of any of the presentations from the webinar, you can request them by emailing vetinfo@hpra.ie
