Quality Assurance (QA): Is There Any Substance to the Quality Assurance

Join host Brett Davidson interviews Nick Bova, Managing Director of Bova, to explore the reality behind Quality Assurance in veterinary compounding.

With some compounding pharmacies claiming Quality Assured products/facilities, Brett and Nick dive into what “Quality” truly means, how it’s regulated, and why the standards are often misunderstood. Drawing on Nick’s experience from establishing Bova UK under strict GMP regulations—standards that Australian pharmacies are not required to follow—they discuss the lack of oversight in the Australian veterinary compounding industry.

The QA program Bova has implemented is a unique approach developed in consultation with regulatory bodies. This insightful conversation sheds light on the critical differences in global veterinary compounding practices and the real meaning of quality assurance.
