BSAVA hails success of Clinical Abstracts Programme
"BSAVA is delighted that so many young clinical researchers were able to present their findings to such a large, international audience" - Ian Ramsey, incoming BSAVA president.

Digital sessions attract participants from across the globe.

The BSAVA is celebrating the success of its 2020 Clinical Abstracts Programme, which achieved the largest audience for clinical abstracts in the Congress' history.

Chaired by BSAVA's incoming president Professor Ian Ramsey, the digital sessions involved 47 presenters from across the globe presenting topics including surgery, neurology, internal medicine and oncology.

Some 160 veterinary professionals attended each of the four sessions, generating interaction and participation from people both in the UK and worldwide.

Professor Ian Ramsey commented: “BSAVA Congress: The Abstract Sessions were an innovation in the interactive presentation of Clinical Research Abstracts that firmly combined BSAVA’s clinical science and education at the forefront of our response to the pandemic," said Ian Ramsey, incoming BSAVA president.

“BSAVA is delighted that so many young clinical researchers were able to present their findings to such a large and international audience. This was probably the largest audience for clinical research abstracts that any veterinary conference has ever achieved and feedback has been very positive.

“We will use this experience in future BSAVA congresses to enhance our offering in clinical research to audiences around the world.”

If you missed the sessions, don't worry! The abstract videos can be watched via Congress on Demand, an online resource containing all of the lectures that would have taken place at this year's BSAVA Congress.

The full abstracts programme can be found here.

New form for online veterinary medicines retailers

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) has produced a new online form for retailers wishing to sell veterinary medicines on the internet.

The form replace the previous Word version and is part of the VMD's ongoing commitment to digitise its processes. Anyone retailing prescription medicines online, including POM-V, POM-VPS and NFA-VPS categories, is lawfully required to register with the VMD before trading.

The change only applies to new applicants. Retailers already listed on the VMD's Register of Online Retailers or registered under the Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS) do not need to do anything.
