The NSW Chief Veterinary Officer, Sarah Britton, hosted a one-hour webinar on foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) for veterinarians on Tuesday August 2, 2022. Topics included:

• an update on national FMD preparedness activities
• an overview of the disease process
• what to do if samples need to be submitted (including calling the EAD hotline 1800 675 888)
• how to interact with the lab at EMAI
• where vet skills are needed in a response and how vets can be involved.
