ABOUT US
AHDA is an association drawn from animal health product distributors and producers across the UK representing 90% of the POM-VPS and NFA-VPS UK animal medicines market.
Typically these distributors stock and prescribe licensed animal medicines to livestock farmers, smallholders and companion animal owners by Registered Animal Medicine Advisors (RAMA)
The overriding mission and purpose of AHDA is to support RAMA’s in their role and to protect their right to sell and supply the range of prescription animal medicines not requiring veterinary diagnosis.
One of the current initiatives that AHDA is working towards on behalf of it’s members, is the ‘Enhancing Responsible Prescribing’ campaign. Further details of this campaign can be found here.
AHDA hosts an annual conference considered to be the industry showcase event which is well supported
and attended by national suppliers and distributor delegates.
