Launch of SmART Comms system (Small Animal Risks and Threats Communications)

Our Small Animal Expert Group (SAEG), which works collaboratively to gather, analyse, and share information on small animal health surveillance, has launched a new communication tool for the timely notification of potential risks and threats in the small animal sector.

The SmART Comms system (Small Animal Risks and Threats Communications) will keep veterinary professionals informed with prompt pet-related disease and health notifications. These notifications will be relevant and can be used to inform small animal veterinary practice decisions. This system is independent of existing notifiable disease alert systems.

By registering to receive SmART Comms you can decide how you wish to receive these notifications. Messages can be received via email, text message or both. If you wish to register to receive these notifications, then please email siu@apha.gov.uk with the email address you would like to register and/or the mobile telephone number if you wish to receive text alerts.
