About

CEREVET^® was founded by Dr Paul Cooper BVM&S MRCVS, PgCert RegAffs, FTOPRA, veterinary regulatory affairs and intelligence expert, to fill a need he identified during his time managing the regulatory lifecycle of one of the major animal health portfolios in Europe.

While working as an independent consultant he provided a monthly regulatory intelligence service for a major animal health company. He has now developed this further into a robust, real-time searchable database with regular and custom reports for the benefit of the wider market.

CEREVET will relieve you of the pressure of keeping up with the constantly evolving regulatory environment alongside the day to day demands and deadlines of a regulatory department.

Multiple sources of information need to be reviewed and significant changes communicated, before someone contacts you wanting to know why you haven’t alerted them to something new. Use CEREVET, don’t be caught out.

The aim of CEREVET is to take the hard work out of veterinary regulatory information and intelligence, and provide an external, knowledgeable and adaptable service directed at the animal health sector, for clients of all sizes, profiles and needs.

CEREVET, One Place to access this information. Your specialised service dedicated to veterinary regulatory information and intelligence.

Search Tips

Short or part terms:

You can search for a word by typing a short part of the word, for example 'bovi' will find 'bovine'. The search engine will find all examples of the short (or full) term, so avoid using short terms that will pick up unrelated words that contain the same string of letters.
