Details of the VMD Corporate Priorities for 2026 - 2027.

Aim: Working to ensure that the VMD is a great place to work.

  • We will maintain a well-trained, motivated and content workforce that nurtures our diversity.
  • Through providing a programme of staff engagement activities and a suite of platforms, we will continuously evaluate well-being, resilience, and performance throughout the year and will ensure staff have the tools, support, and facilities they need to deliver.
  • We will proactively engage with Defra Corporate Services on HR and L&D provisions; ensuring that the polices and support for colleagues are in place and being used consistently.

    • Aim: Design and implement effective policy and legislation in GB and NI encompassing veterinary medicines regulation, antimicrobial resistance and residues of veterinary medicines in food.

  • We will ensure that the legislation underpinning our work and the GB and NI regulatory frameworks remains effective and fit for purpose. The legislation will aim to reflect developments and technical advances in industry to support the wider animal health sector, with availability of safe and efficacious veterinary medicines, with resilience in supply lines and with appropriate and safe use of medicines.
  • We will collaborate with other government departments, devolved administrations and stakeholders on design and implementation of policy and surveillance that ensures people, animals, the environment, our food and the availability of animal medicines in the UK are not compromised.
  • We will lead on veterinary Antimicrobial and Anthelmintic Resistance policy and activities and continue to support initiatives which contribute to the One Health agenda and Defra’s Animal Health and Welfare Pathway aspirations.

    • Aim: Delivery of core regulatory services, with overall performance against published standards to be at or above the effective level.
