Guidance: Veterinary Remote Medicine

29 May 2026

We have recently updated our guidance on using Veterinary Remote Medicine (VRM).

The update outlines the appropriate uses of VRM can be applied when medical progress follow-ups are required. For example, in reviewing the ongoing management of a chronic condition or a post-operative follow-up where a physical examination is unlikely to change the clinical management of the case. It also details how professional judgement is applied in these situations.
