HOT TOPIC: CMA remedies - what do they mean in practice?

12 Jun 2026
Business, Careers & Debates Theatre

With the CMA’s final report on its investigation into veterinary services for household pets now published, we’re asking: what happens now? This session will begin with a presentation and Q&A from Martin Coleman, CMA Inquiry Chair, updating on the CMA’s final decision and explaining next steps. A panel discussion will then explore the possible impact of CMA Orders on practices and what comes next.

  • Understand the CMA process, where we are and what comes next.
  • Recognise the impacts the CMA orders might have on veterinary practices.
  • Learn how to plan for changes in your practice based on the CMA final remedies.
