The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018: Preventative Health Care Plans

24 April 2019

Some BSAVA members may be involved in work relating to the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018. In particular they may be required to advise on Preventative Health Care Plans (PHPs) for some licensed establishments. To support vets in preparing a PHP, a letter from Defra was published recently in the Vet Record which outlined some of the key points a PHP should cover. In addition, the Canine Feline Sector Group (CFSG) included a link on its website to facilitate access to a sample PHP template. BSAVA members who are involved in this work may wish to view both the letter and the sample PHP template by accessing the links below.

The letter in the Vet Record can be accessed as follows:
