NOAH has launched a survey seeking the views of users of the NOAH Compendium app and website on some suggested future developments and to see how the user experience can be improved to make this information source even more valuable.
The organisation is asking users about proposed functionality such as notifications when there are new and updated datasheets, sharing links to datasheets, and an enhanced search functionality. The survey closes on July 18, and NOAH would welcome your views.

As part of NOAH’s sustainability and environmental commitments the 2022 book was the last edition to be printed, so the website and the app will now be the routes to access datasheets and view any changes.
AMTRA has said that it will continue to make sure everyone who wants a copy of the 2023 book can have one free of charge.
Dawn Howard, NOAH chief executive, said: “The 2022 edition of the NOAH Compendium book, published earlier this year, is the last edition of the hard copy to be produced.
“Now and from 2023 the free-to-access NOAH Compendium website and app will provide up to date information for prescribers and users of veterinary medicines. We are now seeking views from our users on what improvements would make it even more practical to support responsible use.”
The NOAH Compendium website and app provides the latest information on the 1,250+ animal medicines in the Compendium easily on a range of devices.
The app also includes the ability to scan datamatrix barcodes on veterinary medicinal product packaging, leading straight to product information, as well as to search by medication, manufacturer or GTIN.
Mrs Howard said: “This is a great step forward towards NOAH’s environmental commitments, as well as ensuring access to up-to-date information. We thank prescribers and users of animal medicines for their support on this decision and look forward to continuing to provide our go-to Compendium resource.”
