BSAVA rolls out CPD resources and benefits in absence of Congress
BSAVA will be recording more than 100 hours of planned Congress lectures.
Package includes £10 discount voucher on all printed manuals

A package of CPD resources and benefits are set to be rolled out on BSAVA's social media channels over the coming days in a bid to fill the gap left by the cancellation of BSAVA Congress.

The package includes a £10 discount voucher on all printed manuals and access to the BSAVA Library.  BSAVA said that it will also be recording more than 100 hours of planned Congress lectures over the following weeks so that vets don't completely miss out on the Congress experience. The resource, titled Congress on Demand will be ready in early May.

BSAVA Chief Executive Amanda Stranack explained: “It’s been a strange few weeks for all of us, as COVID-19 has disrupted and altered almost every facet of daily life. We wanted to let you know that we’re thinking of you this week, and to remind you that, whilst Congress isn’t happening, we’ve got a lot of fantastic resources available – and there is lots more coming soon - to help get you through this period.”

Bluetongue low vector period ends

In an update to its bluetongue guidance, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has announced that the seasonal low vector period for the disease has ended.

With winter over, Defra is planning for a possible increase in cases as midges become more active. It has warned that farms along the east coast of England from Norfolk to Kent, and along the south coast from Kent to Devon, are at highest risk from infected midges blown over from northern Europe.

Since the virus was detected in England in November 2023, there have been 126 confirmed cases. The most recent case to be confirmed was on 1 March 2024.

Farmers are asked to continue to frequently monitor their livestock and ensure their animals and land are registered with the Animal and Plant Health Agency.
