12+ compliance binders

H&S risk assessments, COSHH, radiation protection, fire safety, equipment calibration, training records, SOPs, clinical waste, controlled drugs — each in a different folder, spreadsheet, or clipboard.

21 new CMA requirements by September 2026

Published price lists, itemised billing, treatment cost estimates, ownership disclosure — the CMA Final Report adds 21 mandatory consumer protection requirements with no extended transition.

PMS handles clinical, not compliance

ezyVet, RoboVet, and Provet Cloud manage patient records and billing. They do not cover RCVS PSS evidence, CMA pricing transparency, or workplace compliance obligations.

40% of vets say admin is their top problem

The FVE Admin Burden Report (2025) found 64% of vets report their admin workload has doubled. Over half of admin work is unpaid. Non-clinical compliance adds to the load.

From compliance chaos to audit-ready evidence — four steps

2

Track every obligation

Monitor compliance deadlines, evidence requirements, and staff responsibilities across all non-clinical streams in one dashboard.

3

Prepare audit-ready evidence

Generate documentation packs for RCVS PSS assessments, CMA audits, and H&S inspections — all from a single source of truth.

4

Stay compliant automatically

Receive alerts before deadlines pass, track expiring certifications, and maintain a continuous compliance record across every stream.

Why independent practices need a compliance dashboard

Multi-standard coverage

CMA, RCVS PSS, H&S, COSHH, IRR17, VMD, clinical waste, fire safety — one dashboard covering every non-clinical compliance stream.

Audit-ready evidence packs

Generate documentation for RCVS assessments, CMA audits, and H&S inspections from a single source of truth. No more chasing paper trails.

Built for 1-5 vet practices

Corporate chains have central compliance teams. Independent practices need affordable, standalone tools that work with existing PMS systems.

Priced for practice managers, not enterprise budgets

Planned pricing from £29/month per practice — less than a single compliance consultant engagement. The CMA estimates compliance costs of £450-550 per year. VetComply is cheaper than the regulator's own cost estimate.

Planned pricing — may change before launch.

Veterinary non-clinical compliance: common questions

What are the CMA veterinary reforms and how do they affect my practice?
The CMA published its Final Report on the UK veterinary sector in March 2026, containing 21 mandatory remedies covering pricing transparency, itemised billing, ownership disclosure, and treatment cost estimates. CMA Orders are expected by September 2026, after which all UK veterinary practices must demonstrate compliance. Non-compliance risks CMA enforcement action and financial penalties.
What does the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme require?
The RCVS Practice Standards Scheme (PSS) is a voluntary accreditation programme covering core standards (essential for all practices), general practice standards, and additional modules for emergency, hospital, and specialist services. Assessment involves evidencing compliance across clinical governance, health and safety, staff training, and client communication. Approximately 2,400 UK practices are currently PSS members.
How many compliance areas does a typical vet practice manage?
Independent UK vet practices typically manage 12 or more non-clinical compliance areas: H&S risk assessments, COSHH assessments, radiation protection (IRR17), fire safety, equipment calibration, staff training records, SOPs, clinical waste management, controlled drugs audit, RCVS PSS requirements, and now the 21 CMA pricing transparency remedies. Most manage these across paper binders, spreadsheets, and shared drives.
Do I need software to comply with CMA requirements?
The CMA does not mandate specific software. You can comply using your practice website, spreadsheets, and manual processes alongside the CMA guidance documents. A dedicated tool reduces the risk of compliance gaps across all 21 requirements and provides audit-ready documentation — but it is not legally required.
What is the deadline for CMA veterinary compliance?
CMA Orders are expected to take effect in September 2026. From that date, all approximately 5,300 UK veterinary practices must meet the 21 mandatory pricing transparency and consumer protection requirements set out in the CMA Final Report (March 2026). There is no extended transition period for smaller practices.
How is VetComply different from our practice management software?
Practice management systems (ezyVet, RoboVet, Provet Cloud) handle clinical workflow — patient records, appointments, dispensing, and billing. VetComply covers the non-clinical compliance obligations that PMS systems do not: CMA pricing transparency, RCVS PSS assessment preparation, H&S risk assessments, COSHH, equipment calibration, staff training records, and more.
How much will VetComply cost?
Planned pricing from £29/month per practice — less than a single compliance consultant engagement. The CMA estimates CMA compliance alone will cost practices £450-550 per year. Waitlist members hear about launch pricing first.
Who builds VetComply?
VetComply is built by Crocker Digital Ltd (Company No. 17008789), a UK software company focused on compliance tools for regulated industries. VetComply is purpose-built for independent UK veterinary practices, not a repackaged enterprise platform.
